                   ▶  Programming  languages contain  a set  of instructions  that  a computer  follows to  complete
                     a task.
                   ▶  Blocks in the block palette are divided into various categories such as Motion, Looks, Control, Sound,
                     and Events, etc.

                   ▶  Motion blocks are used to control the movement of a Sprite.

                   ▶  Events  block  controls  how the  blocks  in a  script  will start  to  run, if a  particular  action  is
                     done.

                   ▶  Looks blocks let you modify the sprite’s costumes and colours.
                   ▶  The Sound block category instructs the sprite to play music.

                   ▶  The Operators block category lets us perform mathematical operations.

                   ▶  Variables  are named locations where you can store information.

                   ▶  A global variable can be created on any sprite but its value can be accessed or modified by other
                     sprites used in the project.
                   ▶  Local variables can only be accessed or modified from the sprite where they were created.

                   ▶  Sensing blocks are colour-coded light-blue, and are used to control the movement of the sprite in a
                     better manner.
