CODING BLOCKS


                 Coding blocks in Scratch are puzzle-piece shapes that are used to create a code.
                 Different types of blocks have different colours.


                 MOTION BLOCK

                 The blocks that are used to control the movement of a Sprite are known as Motion

                 blocks. They are blue in colour.

                 LOOKS BLOCK


                 The blocks that are used to add speech and thought bubbles to the sprite are
                 called Looks block. They are purple in colour.


                 EVENTS BLOCK

                 The blocks that help to run the script on the stage and controls the starting of scripts
                 are called Events Blocks. It gives you control of all the blocks, as without an Event

                 block, no program will run.
