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.
