Q & A

What is the first step to start the tutorial in Scratch?

The first step is to open Google Chrome and navigate to the Scratch website at www.scratch.mit.edu.

How do you create an account on Scratch?

To create an account, click the 'Join' button, then fill in your username, password, country, date of birth, gender, and email. Afterward, click 'Create Account' and 'Start' to begin.

What should you do after creating an account on Scratch?

After creating an account, you’ll be directed to the Scratch homepage where you can click 'Create' to start a new project.

What is the purpose of the 'When green flag clicked' block?

The 'When green flag clicked' block is an event trigger that starts the script when the user clicks the green flag, often used to start animations or actions in a project.

How do you make a sprite say something in Scratch?

To make a sprite say something, use the 'Say [message] for [time] seconds' block. This block will make the sprite display the specified message for the given time.

What are X and Y coordinates used for in Scratch?

X and Y coordinates define the position of a sprite on the stage. The X axis controls horizontal movement, while the Y axis controls vertical movement.

How can you change the backdrop in Scratch?

To change the backdrop in Scratch, click the 'Choose a Backdrop' button, and select a background from the available options or upload your own.

How do you make a sprite move in Scratch?

To make a sprite move, use the 'Move [number] steps' block. You can place this block inside a loop to make the sprite move continuously.

What does the 'Forever' block do in Scratch?

The 'Forever' block creates a loop that repeats the enclosed blocks indefinitely. It is useful for continuous actions like movement or animations.

How do you stop a sprite from moving in Scratch when a specific key is pressed?

To stop a sprite when a key is pressed, use the 'Repeat until' block. Inside it, place the condition 'Key [space] pressed,' which stops the action once the spacebar is pressed.
