What if you could code your own superpower in Scratch? What would
your superpower be, and how would you use it to help others?
SETTING THE SPRITE POSITION
The stage is divided into different values of x and y. Each dot on the stage is made
up of both x and y values. The value of x gives the horizontal (left to right) location
of the Sprite. The value of y gives the vertical (top to bottom) location of the
Sprite. The centre of the stage has x and y values as 0.
go to x: -100 y: -34 block helps you fix the position of the sprite at the beginning of a
script. Sometimes due to some scripts, the sprite goes beyond the stage. This block
helps to bring the sprite to the desired location.
Recap
The blocks that are used to control the movement of a Sprite are known as
Motion blocks.
Looks blocks control how a Sprite appears on stage.
Sound blocks control sound functions. We can add music to our Scratch project
by using Sound blocks.
Events blocks actually control how the blocks in a script, will start to run, if a
particular action is done.
Events blocks control events and the starting of scripts.
Control blocks control the way the script runs in a project. They have looping blocks
which are used when the same blocks have to be repeated for a number of times.
The position of a sprite is given by the x and y values on the stage.
