Chapter Profile

                    To stop all sounds being played on all Sprites, use                    block.

                                     block clears all existing sound effects.


                 Events Block

                 An event is a happening which occurs due to some other things that happened before it. So,

                 Events block 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. They are yellow in colour.


                                      block activates the script when the green flag or

                     Go button is clicked.


                                                block  activates the  script  when  the

                     chosen key is pressed. You can choose from the given keys or

                     you can choose any option.


                                         block activates the script when you click the sprite.


                 Control Block

                 They have looping blocks which are used when the same blocks have to be repeated for a
                 number of times. The most commonly used control blocks are:

                     The  wait  block  pauses  the  running  of  the  script  for  the  number  of
                     seconds given in the block. You can use this block when two move or

                     speak blocks are coming one after the other.
                     The repeat block repeats a set of blocks for a given number of times.

                     This block is also used to draw shapes where we have to give the
                     same blocks again and again for a number of times.

                     The forever block keeps on repeating a set of blocks till the stop
                     button is clicked. This block is similar to repeat block and expands

                     automatically to accommodate the blocks you snap inside it.





                                   What if you could code your own superpower in Scratch? What would your
                                   superpower be, and how would you use it to help others?
