I've created a button that changes the color of the Scratch Cat when pressed, but I wanted to add a feature where I could press and hold the button to continuously change colors until I let go. To achieve this, I used a 'repeat until' block to broadcast a 'change color' message, and then set the condition to 'not Mouse down.' Now, I can press and hold the button to see the Scratch Cat's color change continuously.
