Scratch Interface - Block Palette
The block palette is where the different script blocks are located. The different type of script blocks include: motion, control, looks, sensing, sound, operators, pen, variables. This website will go into greater detail for each function as you progress. The purpose of this section is to just give you a rough idea of each script type.
Motion - controls the up, down, left, right, and rotation movement of the sprites.
Control - allows you to specify things such as what starts and stops your sprites, how you can move the object, conditional operators such as if/then and repetition.
Looks - affects the appearance of your sprite such as color and costume.
Sensing - controls to sense if your sprite is touching the edge, another color, another sprite, at a specific X or Y coordinate, the sound volume, etc.
Sound - control sounds, pitches, and volume.
Operators - Logic operators including tools to perform match functions, select a random number, greater than, less than, equal to, etc.
Pen - pen functions allows you to draw lines and objects on the stage.
Variables - create variables to hold numbers or text.
