                 Code.org's App Lab, contains different categories of blocks used for programming. Here's
                 what each category generally does:

                   UI controls: Create buttons, text inputs, and labels for user interaction.

                   Data: Store and manage structured information like lists and databases.
                   Control: Manage program flow using loops, conditionals, and event handlers.

                   Variables: Store  and update  dynamic  values for
                   calculations and tracking.

                   Canvas: Draw  and display  custom  graphics  or
                   animations.

                   Turtle: Use simple commands to draw shapes and
                   patterns.

                   Math: Perform calculations, random numbers, and logic operations.

                   Functions: Create reusable code blocks to simplify programming.




                           USING IMAGE ELEMENTS AS SPRITES

                 Sprites (characters or objects) can be used for interactive elements in your app. Since
                 App Lab doesn’t have a built-in sprite system like Game Lab, you can customize sprites

                 using Image elements.

                 The steps to customize sprites in App lab are given below:
                 Step  1  Click on the Design tab.

                 Step  2  Click on the Image element from Design Toolbox and drag it to the screen.


























                 Step  3  Click Choose under image in PROPERTIES panel.
