Scratch is a programming language designed for small children. It is easy to make
games, animations, stories, etc. in Scratch. It is also free to download from the
Internet. You have learned interesting things about Scratch. Let us now learn to
draw shapes using Scratch blocks by moving the Sprite around on the screen.
Before we actually draw shapes, let us understand the screen of the Scratch.
SPRITE’S DIRECTION
You can change the direction of the Sprite by using the Turn block under the
Motions block menu. The turn 15 degrees block will turn the Sprite in clockwise
direction by the specified number of degrees. The turn 15 degrees block will turn
the Sprite in anti-clockwise direction by the specified number of degrees.
The value of the degree specified in the Turn block can be changed according to
our requirement.
