Step 5: Click on Pen blocks category .
Step 6: Click and drag the pen down block to the script area and snap it to the script.
Step 7: Click on the block set pen color to and drag it to the script area. Snap it to the
script. Click on the colour dot and choose a color of your choice.
Step 8: Click on erase all block and drag it to the script area and snap it to the script.
Step 9: Next click on Control blocks category .
Step 10: Click and drag the repeat 10 C block to the script area. Snap it to the script.
Step 11: Now we will have to click on Motion blocks category .
Step 12: Next drag the move 10 steps and turn 15 degrees blocks and snap them inside the
C block. When you position any block inside the C block, it expands to fit the blocks.
Change the steps from 10 to 100 mention to change the degree from 15 to 90.
Step 13: In the repeat block, click and change the number of repeats from 10 to 4. Why are we
doing this? We know that a square has 4 sides.
Step 14: If you do not want the sprite to appear over the figure, you can end the code here. But
if you want to see both the shape and the sprite, snap the show block at the end of
the code.
Tech Fact
In Scratch, each number is
equal to 1 step of the sprite
on the stage. So, these 100
steps form one side of the
square. In the turn block,
change the degree from 15
to 90. Why are we changing
the degree? Remember,
360/4 = 90 degrees.
Drawing a Rectangle in Scratch
To draw a rectangle in Scratch, follow the same code you used to draw a square. In the repeat
block, change the values of the Repeat and Motion blocks as shown in the given code.
You can also draw a multi-coloured rectangle. To do so, remove the set pen color to block
and place the block Change pen color by 10 in the Repeat block. Change the value from 10
to 25. Click on the Go button.
