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
