    Study Notes

    Scratch Overview

    • Scratch is a visual block-based programming language developed by MIT's Media Lab and maintained by the Scratch Foundation.
    • Users create projects by assembling visual "puzzle pieces" to form stories, animations, games, and programs.
    • Scratch incorporates fundamental programming concepts like functions, loops, conditions, and variables, encouraging computational thinking.

    Project Setup

    • Users start on Scratch's website and click "Start Creating" to access the project interface.
    • The interface includes a library of blocks on the left for dragging into a block editor in the center for project assembly.
    • The stage on the top right displays the visual output of the project.

    Sprites Management

    • Upon creating a project, the default sprite is a cat known as "Sprite1."
    • Additional sprites can be added, allowing for repositioning and overlap adjustments.
    • Selected sprites are highlighted in blue; users can change their position and size easily.
    • Right-clicking (or control-clicking) a sprite reveals options such as duplicating, enabling multiple instances on the stage.

    Costumes

    • Each sprite has costumes, which are the images that define their appearance.
    • Users can switch between multiple costumes to create animations (e.g., a walking cat).
    • New costumes can be created using the costume editor, with options to paint or use images from Scratch.
    • Users can also upload personal images to serve as custom sprites or costume designs.

    Sounds

    • The "Sounds" tab allows users to add audio to their sprites.
    • Sprites come with built-in sounds (e.g., fish has "bubbles" and "ocean wave," while the cat has a "meow").
    • Sound editing is possible to enhance storytelling or gameplay.

    Backgrounds

    • The default project background is plain white, but users can easily select new backdrops from an extensive library.
    • Backdrops can set the scene, such as choosing an underwater background for aquatic sprites.
    • Removal or flipping of sprites can be managed through sprite panel options.

    Saving Projects

    • Projects can be saved using the File menu, allowing access later.
    • The "Load from your computer" option facilitates project retrieval.
    • Creating a Scratch account enables greater project storage, sharing capabilities, and community engagement.

    Upcoming Learning

    • Future lessons will focus on programming sprites to perform actions and building interactive stories or games based on user input.
