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.
