CREATING A SCRATCH PROJECT

As you know, a sprite is controlled by a list of instructions known as code or script.
We create scratch programs by putting code blocks together. Let us create some

projects in Scratch. Programs are written in Scratch to move sprites in x and y
coordinates on the stage area.

PROJECT 1: MOVING A SPRITE

To move a sprite around the stage, we need to learn how to work with Motion

blocks. A sprite can be moved a few steps ahead or turned by different angles. Let
us now create a project that instructs a sprite to move.

Step 1 From the Events block, drag a when clicked block.

Step 2 From the Motion block drag a move 10 steps block.

Step 3 Click on the number box and change it to move 50 steps (The number
determines how far across the screen you want the sprite to move.)

Step 4 Drag a turn 15 degrees block. The sprite will rotate 15 degrees
clockwise. (To change the angle of turn, change the number of degrees
and then click on the block to make the sprite turn.)

Step 5 Now, click on move 10 steps and change it to move 50 steps

Step 6 Click the to run your program.

when clicked
move 50 steps
turn 15 degrees

move 50 steps

Fill in the blanks.
uiz Bee 1. ______ is the default sprite in Scratch.

2. ______ blocks are used to control the movement of a Sprite.
