80 Blocks Shapes in Scratch
Now I know how to create shapes in Scratch. But why are all these
blocks in different shapes and colours?
All the blocks in Scratch are in different shapes. They can be divided
into six types of shapes. They are Hat, Stack, Boolean, Reporter, C
and Cap. Let me tell you about them in details.
Hat Blocks
They are called hat blocks as they look like a hat. We wear a hat on
our head, so the hat always comes on the top. Similarly, hat blocks
always come at the top of a script as they start a script. This means
that you cannot place any blocks above them.
Stack Blocks
Stack blocks are the most used blocks in Scratch.
They perform the main commands. Stack blocks
have a bowl shape cut on the top and a bump at the
bottom. This makes it easier to stack other blocks above and below them.
Boolean Blocks
Boolean blocks are the conditional blocks which return the values
“true” or “false” or the number “0” or “1” depending on how they are
used in the script.
