Scratch  utilises a  block-based  visual programming interface,  where  users drag  and  drop
                    various command blocks to create scripts.

                    The  block-based  visual  programming  interfaces are  categorised  in colour  codes  and  are
                    designed in the form of jigsaw puzzles, so arranging them on screen helps you design a
                    logical set of tasks.
