(idea) Weather / Thunderstorm bot

Hey !

So, with this new bgcolor feature and the already-made-but-not-released-bot to change backgrounds automatically, I had this idea about a thunderstrom bot.

What does this bot do ?
Really simple : Its goal is to simulate a thunderstorm ingame, making EE worlds feel "alive".

How does it works ?
Quite simply : You have a fixed dark background that is set by the bot. The bot then randomly turns the bg "white" before going back smoothly to the dark background in a very short amount of time, simulating lightning strikes.

Suggestions / advice :
- If players use sounds, it places the "crash" block from the drum pack beneath the player to simulate the sound of thunder (only if there is no action black beneath the player already).
- The dark background could have small color variations, oscillating between #000011 to #000022 for example in a stormy dark night.
- One small advice : the "white" bg flash should not be very bright to avoid seizures.

Weather and day/night cycle bot ?
We could also use a similar bot to simulate weather changes ( fog, rain, thunderstorm, whatever ).
And I guess it's possible to make a day/night cycle with this as well.

I don't have any clue on how to code it, but I thought I could just share this idea of mine.
See you guys !
