CREATING A SCRATCH PROJECT

                 As you know, a sprite is controlled by a list of instructions known as code or script.

                 We create scratch programs by putting code blocks together. Let us create some
                 projects in Scratch. Programs are written in Scratch to move sprites in x and y
                 coordinates on the stage area.


                 PROJECT 1: MOVING A SPRITE

                 To move a sprite around the stage, we need to learn how to work with Motion

                 blocks. A sprite can be moved a few steps ahead or turned by different angles. Let
                 us now create a project that instructs a sprite to move.


                 Step  1     From the Events blocks, drag a  when            clicked   block.

                 Step  2     From the Motion block, drag a  move             10  steps   block.

                 Step  3     Click on the number 10 and change it to  move               50  steps   (The number

                             determines how far across the screen you want the sprite to move.)

                 Step  4     Drag  a     turn     15  degrees     block.  The sprite  will  rotate  15 degrees
                             clockwise. (To change the angle of turn, change the number of degrees
                             and then click the block to make the sprite turn.)

                 Step  5     Now, click on move 10 steps and change it to  move                50  steps

                 Step  6     Click the      to run your program.



                           when     clicked
                            move    50  steps

                            turn    15  degrees
                            move    50  steps










                                          Fill in the blanks.
