Sound Blocks

                 Sound blocks are in pink colour. They control sound functions. We can add music to our
                 Scratch project by using Sound blocks. You can even record your voice and save it. You can
                 play it with a Sprite.


                                 block plays  a  sound  without  pausing  the  script.
                   The sound options are Meow or record... sound.

                                      block plays the sound by pausing the script
                   until the sound has finished playing. The sound options are
                   Meow or record... sound.

                    To stop all sounds being played on all Sprites, use              block.


                              block clears all existing sound effects.
                 Events Blocks

                 An event is a happening which occurs due to some other things that happened before
                 it. So, Events blocks actually control how the blocks in a script will start to run, if a

                 particular action is done. Events blocks control events and the starting of scripts. They
                 are yellow in colour.

                            block activates the script when the green flag or Go button is clicked.

                                 block activates the script when the chosen key is
                   pressed. You can choose from the given keys or you can choose
                   the option any.

                              block activates the script when you click the Sprite.


                 Control Blocks

                 They have looping blocks which are used when the same blocks
                 have to be repeated for a number of times. The most commonly used control blocks are:
                                   The wait block pauses the running of the script for the number of seconds

                                 given in the block. You can use this block when two move or speak blocks are
                                 coming one after the other.

                     The repeat block repeats a set of blocks for a given number of times. This
                   block is also used to draw shapes where we have to give the same blocks
                   again and again for a number of times.
                                       The forever block keeps on repeating a set of blocks till the stop button
                                     is clicked. This block is similar to repeat block and expands automatically

                                     to accommodate the blocks you snap inside it.
