๐ Quick Study Guide
- โจ Scratch is a visual programming language where you use colorful blocks to create animations, stories, and games.
- ๐ "Drag-and-Drop" means you click on a block, drag it to the scripting area, and snap it together with other blocks, just like LEGOs!
- ๐ฑโ๐ค Sprites are the characters or objects in Scratch that you can program. Think of them as your actors!
- ๐ Scripts are a sequence of blocks that tell a sprite exactly what to do. It's like a recipe for your sprite!
- ๐ Events are special blocks that start a script, such as "when green flag clicked" or "when space key pressed."
- ๐ถโโ๏ธ Motion blocks help your sprites move around the stage (e.g., move 10 steps, turn 15 degrees).
- ๐ Looks blocks change how a sprite appears (e.g., say "Hello!", switch costume, change size).
