    Study Notes

    Sprites

    • A sprite is a graphical object that can be programmed to perform actions in Scratch
    • Sprites can be created, duplicated, and deleted
    • Each sprite has its own set of costumes, sounds, and scripts
    • Sprites can be controlled using blocks, which are the fundamental programming elements in Scratch

    Loops

    • Loops allow a set of blocks to be repeated a specified number of times
    • There are two types of loops in Scratch: Forever Loops and Repeat Loops
    • Forever Loops: repeat a set of blocks indefinitely until the program is stopped
    • Repeat Loops: repeat a set of blocks a specified number of times
    • Loops can be used to create animations, games, and other interactive programs

    Conditionals

    • Conditionals allow scripts to make decisions based on certain conditions
    • There are two types of conditionals in Scratch: If-Then Blocks and If-Then-Else Blocks
    • If-Then Blocks: execute a set of blocks if a certain condition is true
    • If-Then-Else Blocks: execute one set of blocks if a condition is true, and another set of blocks if the condition is false
    • Conditionals can be used to create interactive stories, games, and simulations

    Variables

    • Variables are used to store and manipulate data in Scratch
    • Variables can be used to keep track of scores, lives, and other game-related data
    • There are two types of variables in Scratch: User-Defined Variables and System Variables
    • User-Defined Variables: created by the user to store specific data
    • System Variables: built-in variables that provide information about the Scratch environment, such as the date and time
    • Variables can be used in scripts to create dynamic and interactive programs

    Sprites

    • Graphical objects that can be programmed to perform actions in Scratch
    • Can be created, duplicated, and deleted
    • Each sprite has its own set of costumes, sounds, and scripts
    • Can be controlled using blocks, the fundamental programming elements in Scratch

    Loops

    • Allow a set of blocks to be repeated a specified number of times
    • Two types of loops: Forever Loops and Repeat Loops
    • Forever Loops: repeat a set of blocks indefinitely until the program is stopped
    • Repeat Loops: repeat a set of blocks a specified number of times
    • Used to create animations, games, and interactive programs

    Conditionals

    • Allow scripts to make decisions based on certain conditions
    • Two types of conditionals: If-Then Blocks and If-Then-Else Blocks
    • If-Then Blocks: execute a set of blocks if a condition is true
    • If-Then-Else Blocks: execute one set of blocks if a condition is true, and another set of blocks if the condition is false
    • Used to create interactive stories, games, and simulations

    Variables

    • Used to store and manipulate data in Scratch
    • Used to keep track of scores, lives, and other game-related data
    • Two types of variables: User-Defined Variables and System Variables
    • User-Defined Variables: created by the user to store specific data
    • System Variables: built-in variables that provide information about the Scratch environment, such as the date and time
    • Used in scripts to create dynamic and interactive programs
