Show Code: The Show Code interface in Code.org allows users to view the underlying
JavaScript code generated by their block-based programming. It serves as a bridge
between visual coding and textual coding, helping learners understand the connection
between the two.

WHAT IS BLOCK-BASED PROGRAMMING?
Block-based programming is a visual way of coding where you connect pre-made code
blocks like puzzle pieces. This approach helps beginners learn coding concepts without
worrying about complex syntax. In block programming, the order of blocks matters
because the computer follows the instructions step by step.
HOW DOES SPRITE LAB WORK?
In Sprite Lab, you can create animations and simple games using visual coding blocks.
You will learn how to control characters (sprites), add backgrounds, and make animations
with movement.
The key features of block-based programming in Sprite Lab are given below:
Sprite Location: Control a sprite’s position using x, y coordinates or go to blocks.
Appearance: Blocks to change sprite costumes and show or hide them.
Events: Trigger actions based on user interaction (e.g., clicks or touches).
Loops: Repeating actions continuously or for a set number of times.
Sound: Add sounds and adjust volume in the program.
Variables: Store and manipulate data like scores or positions.
World: The overall environment where sprites interact, including the stage and
background.
