Coding Basics
Learning programming gives you the power to create these.
What are websites, video games, apps, and animations.
The colour of the events coding blocks in Scratch that are used to trigger actions.
What is orange?
This repeats steps in your algorithm without having to write it over and over.
What is a loop?
This is the process of giving instructions to a computer so it can perform specific tasks, similar to following a recipe.
What is computer programming/coding?
This event block makes a sprite move when you click on it.
What is "when this sprite clicked"?
In Scratch, you can change the color of a sprite by using this block, which applies a color effect to the sprite's appearance.
What is the "change color effect by" block?
This programming language created by MIT uses colorful blocks to teach coding concepts and allows users to create animations, games, and interactive stories.
What is Scratch?
You use this event block to start an action when a specific key is pressed on the keyboard.
What is "when [key] pressed"?
In Scratch, this type of loop continues forever until it is stopped or interrupted.
What is a forever loop?
These are the triggers in programming that cause actions to occur, such as clicking on a sprite or pressing a key.
What are events?
These are important to your project as they allow the user to interact with your project.
What are Events?
This loop in Scratch runs a set of instructions a specific number of times, based on the number you provide.
What is a repeat loop?
This is a list of clear steps given to the computer to complete a task, like following a recipe to bake a cake.
What is an algorithm?
In Scratch, this green symbol when clicked can trigger your entire algorithm to begin.
What is the green flag?
This block in Scratch allows you to add sound effects, music, or voiceovers during your animations or games.
What is the "play sound" block?
