Sure!

Here are a few simple block-based coding examples that demonstrate


fundamental concepts in programming. These examples use blocks similar to those
found in platforms like Scratch:

1. Moving a Character This example moves a character to the right when you press the
"right arrow" key.

• Event Block: "When [right arrow key] is pressed"

• Action Block: "Move [10] steps"

• Condition: None (triggered by the event)

2. Bounce a Ball This example makes a ball bounce back when it hits the edge of the
screen.

• Event Block: "When [green flag] is clicked"

• Forever Block: "Repeat forever"

o Action Block: "Move [5] steps"

o Condition Block: "If on edge, bounce"

3. Changing Colors This example changes the character's color every time you click on
it.

• Event Block: "When [sprite] is clicked"

• Action Block: "Change color effect by [25]"

4. Counting Points This example increases the score by 1 when the player touches an
object.

• Event Block: "When [sprite] is clicked"

• Variable Block: "Set [score] to [0]"

• Condition Block: "If touching [object]"

o Action Block: "Change [score] by [1]"

5. Create a Simple Loop This example shows how to repeat an action multiple times
(e.g., making a character spin).

• Event Block: "When [green flag] is clicked"

• Repeat Block: "Repeat [10] times"


o Action Block: "Turn [15] degrees"

Here are expanded versions of the block-based coding examples, including additional
elements and interactions to make them more engaging:

1. Moving a Character with Boundaries

This example moves a character in different directions when arrow keys are pressed
and ensures it stays within screen boundaries.

• Event Blocks:

o "When [right arrow key] is pressed"

o "When [left arrow key] is pressed"

o "When [up arrow key] is pressed"

o "When [down arrow key] is pressed"

• Action Blocks:

o "Change x by [10]" (for moving right)

o "Change x by [-10]" (for moving left)

o "Change y by [10]" (for moving up)

o "Change y by [-10]" (for moving down)

• Condition Block: "If touching edge, stop moving"

2. Bounce a Ball with Point System

Make the ball bounce around the screen and collect points when it touches certain
objects.

• Event Block: "When [green flag] is clicked"

• Forever Block:

o "Move [5] steps"

o "If touching [object], change [score] by [1]"

o "If on edge, bounce"

• Variable Block: "Set [score] to [0]"

3. Changing Colors and Playing Sounds


Change the character's color and play a sound every time you click on it.

• Event Block: "When [sprite] is clicked"

• Action Blocks:

o "Change color effect by [25]"

o "Play sound [meow] until done"

4. Counting Points and Timer

Add a point system with a timer for a more competitive game experience.

• Event Block: "When [green flag] is clicked"

• Variable Blocks:

o "Set [score] to [0]"

o "Set [timer] to [30]"

• Forever Block:

o "If touching [object], change [score] by [1]"

o "Wait [1] second, change [timer] by [-1]"

• Condition Block: "If [timer] = [0], stop game"

5. Create a Simple Animation

Animate a character walking across the screen.

• Event Block: "When [green flag] is clicked"

• Forever Block:

o "Move [5] steps"

o "Wait [0.5] seconds, switch costume to [walking pose 1]"

o "Wait [0.5] seconds, switch costume to [walking pose 2]"

o "If on edge, bounce"

6. Game: Catch Falling Objects

Create a simple game where a basket catches falling apples.

• Event Block: "When [green flag] is clicked"


• Variable Blocks:

o "Set [score] to [0]"

• Forever Block: (For apples)

o "Move [down 5 steps]"

o "If touching [basket], change [score] by [1], reset position"

• Forever Block: (For basket)

o "If [arrow keys] pressed, move basket [left/right]"

7. Clone Characters for Complexity

Add multiple enemies to a game using cloning.

• Event Block: "When [green flag] is clicked"

• Action Block: "Create clone of [enemy sprite] every [2] seconds"

• Event Block for Clone: "When I start as clone"

• Action Blocks:

o "Move [random number] steps"

o "If touching [hero sprite], end clone"
