block lets the Sprite move forward (in the direction it is facing) the
                      number of steps given in the text box in the block. When we write the value with

                      a minus (–) sign, the Sprite moves backward, e.g. move – 10 steps                        .

                                    block lets the Sprite turn in clockwise direction by the given degrees
                      and                  block  turns  Sprite  in  anti-clockwise  direction  by  the  given

                      degrees.

                        To make a Sprite jump to a new position on the stage, use                        block. This
                      block gives the x and y position of the Sprite on the stage.

                        Use                to tell the Sprite to follow one of the two given options: the

                      mouse pointer or a random position.

















                                 block makes the Sprite flip over if it touches the edge
                      of the screen.

                                       block  is used  to set the  rotation  style of a
                      sprite. The options to choose from are left-right, all around

                      and don’t rotate.

                 Looks Block


                 The blocks in purple color are Looks blocks. They control how a Sprite
                 appears on stage.

                        use the                    block to add a speech bubble to the Sprite

                      for the given time in seconds.

                               block adds a speech bubble to the Sprite with the given text. The speech
                      bubble will continue to appear until another speech or thought block is activated,

                      or the stop button is pressed.
