CREATING CUSTOM BACKGROUNDS FOR THE STORY
A background in Scratch is the backdrop that sets the scene for a project. It enhances
storytelling, makes projects visually engaging, and helps organise gameplay.
Custom backgrounds add creativity and make projects more immersive.
To create a background for your story in Scratch, follow
the given steps:
Step 1 Click on the Choose a Backdrop button.
Step 2 Click on Paint option to draw.
Step 3 Now, draw a backdrop for your project/story
using different colours and tools to make it unique.
As you create the backdrop, you can view the progress in
real time on the stage.
COMBINING BLOCKS
Scratch lets you create amazing projects by using different types of blocks. Let’s
revise some important blocks:
Motion Blocks – These blocks help move the sprite in different directions. Example:
block makes the sprite move forward.
Event Blocks – These start actions in Scratch. Example: block starts the
project.
Sensing Blocks – These allow the sprite to detect things, like touching colours or
sensing the mouse pointer. Example: block can make a sprite
react when it touches a specific colour.
Variable Blocks – Variables help store and change values, like scores or timers.
Example: block starts a game with a score of zero.
CREATING A SCRIPT COMBINING MOTION, EVENTS, SENSING AND
VARIABLES BLOCKS
You can create an interactive and engaging script by combining Motion, Events,
Sensing, and Variable blocks. Since you have already planned your story with a
jellyfish and an octopus as characters against an underwater backdrop, let’s now
bring it to life by scripting their actions.
