PLAY WITH THE SPRITE
A sprite is a key element that serves as the main character or object in a project. Each sprite can
have its own set of costumes, scripts, and sounds, enabling it to perform various actions and
interact with other sprites. Scratch allows you to add sprite from sprite’s library, draw a new
sprite, use a surprise sprite, and upload a new sprite from your computer. The Choose a Sprite
button provides four options to perform all these operations, which are Choose a Sprite, Paint,
Surprise, and Upload Sprite.
