HOW TO WRITE THE SCRATCH PROGRAM?

To write a Scratch program (the Script of detailed instructions for the Sprite)

1. We have to drag the instructions blocks such as Motion, Sound from the Blocks Palette
area and drop them into the Scripts Area.

2. These blocks are pasted one after the other, to create the Script. (The blocks should fit
into each other as jig-saw puzzle blocks.)

3. When you double-click on a Script, Scratch runs the program. It carries out the
instructions in the blocks, one by one, from the top to the bottom of the Script.

WORKING WITH SPRITE

Moving a Sprite

To move or turn the Sprite around through different angles, use the blocks in the
Motion block category.

Let us create our first Scratch project to move the Sprite.
1. Click on the aaaaaaaaaa Motion block category

in the blocks menu.
2. Click on the aaaaaaaaaa and drag it in the
Scripts area.

3. Now, click on the and drag it in the Scripts area.
4. Click any of the block in the Scripts area.

You will notice that the Sprite moves the
specified number of steps and then turn itself.

direction.

This block is used to turn the Sprite in clockwise direction.
