Scratch is a free programming language and online community where young people can create their own interactive stories, games, and animations. Scratch is a project of the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. You can learn more about Scratch here.
By clicking the shrink or grow icons at the top of the toolbar. In the paint editor, click on the arrow tool then click and drag on a corner on the surrounding box to make new size, in the case of your sprite is a vector image.
A backdrop is an image that can be shown on the Stage. It is similar to a costume, except that it is shown on the stage instead. They are located in the backdrops library. The Stage can change its look to any of its backdrops using the Switch Backdrop to () block.
The sprite isn't moving smoothly when it moves left and right. If you press and hold the right arrow, the sprite will move to the right and stop for a bit, before moving again. The sprite should continually move, until the arrow key is no longer being pressed. Use a repeat until block to fix this.
Sprites are the images on a Scratch computer program screen. Every Scratch program is made up of sprites and the scripts (instructions) that control them. Scripts are programmed to make the sprites do things. A project can have lots of sprites, and each sprite can have lots of scripts.
The buttons for creating a new sprite. The bar above the sprite list has four buttons for creating sprites.
Scratch is a basic coding language that uses 'building block' style coding to create animated stories, interactive games, simulations, and beautiful artwork. In using Scratch, learners will be introduced to basic coding concepts and develop their computational thinking skills while bringing their own ideas to life.
There are four main elements of Scratch: the stage, the sprites, the script and the programming palette. These elements can be compared to a play.
Scratch is available free of charge. You can use it in your school, and you can teach a course about it (even a course that costs money). You don't need to buy a license: it's free!

Ghost effect may be a positive alternative to use for hiding and showing if fading is a necessity. Otherwise, using the "show" and "hide" blocks are typically used and may result in a performance benefit when a sprite is hidden due to the CPU not having to render the sprite.
There are 16 different instruments and 25 different pitches per instrument. Pressing use on the block increases the note pitch up a semitone, with a total of two full octaves (25 semitones) being available for each instrument.
Scratch is a programming language and an online community where children can program and share interactive media such as stories, games, and animation with people from all over the world. As children create with Scratch, they learn to think creatively, work collaboratively, and reason systematically.
A costume is one out of possibly many "frames" or alternate appearances of a sprite. Sprites can change their look to any of its costumes. They can be named, edited, created, and deleted, but every sprite must have at least one costume.
Presentation Mode (also called full screen mode) was the full screen player in Scratch 1. x. It was accessed by pressing the button on the top right of the Scratch program. To exit presentation mode, click the. in the top left of the screen, or press Esc.

Jumping with Scratch
- Make a character and several platforms.
- Use the space bar to make your character jump.
- Create a variable for YVelocity (the falling speed)
- Introduce gravity so that your character falls.
- Let's re-code our jump using YVelocity so that our cat jumps smoothly.
The online editor can be accessed by clicking the Create tab on the website or by clicking here. The offline editor can be downloaded here. The current version of Scratch is Scratch 3.0.
To start, click the text field at the top left of the Scratch editor and rename the project from Untitled to Platformer.
- Create the Ground Sprite.
- Add the Gravity and Landing Code.
- Make the Cat Walk and Wrap Around the Stage.
- Remove the Ground Lift Delay.
- Add the Steep Slope Code.
- Add the Jumping Code.
The most common way to save content is to click the 'Save Now' located on the top right corner of the editor. The Save Now button is located on the top right editor. Another way to save your project is to click 'File' in the toolbar, then from the dropdown menu, click 'Save Now'.
How to Use Scratch
- Step 1: Area Overview. Scratch has a few main areas.
- Step 2: Palette. This is the palette area.
- Step 3: Scripting Area. The second area has three sections, the scripts section, the costumes (or, if the Stage is selected, backgrounds) section, and the sounds section.
- Step 4: Stage and Sprite Areas.
- Step 5: Menus.
Menu Bar. The menu bar for the forums is below the words "Discuss Scratch", under the Scratch logo and has one option, Discussion Home.
What happens if the instruction blocks in Scratch are placed in the wrong order? The program will not work well. In this code, when the green flag is clicked, the Scratch cat start on the left side of the stage, say something, glide to the right side of the stage and say something about the right side.
To make a sprite disappear, use the ghost effect. Click the block to see what it does. Whoa, each click makes the sprite disappear a little more.
