Scratch?

What is Scratch?
Scratch is a computer programming language. It will have
sprites and scripts/programs.

What is Scratch used for?

Scratch is used to make games, animations and applications.

Why should we learn to write programs?

It helps to think, to be creative and builds other relevant skills.
It is one of the important skill in the current digital world.

easy to create interactive stories, animations,
games, music and art.

Benefits of Scratch
Program and Programming
• Program: Set of instructions that a computer follows in order
to complete a task
• Coding or Programming means writing step-by-step
instructions that tell the computer what to do.
• It is like a recipe: a set of instructions to tell a cook how to
make a dish.
• Programmers: Programmers create a conversation between
the computer and the user

Sprites
In computer graphics, a sprite is a two-dimensional image or
animation that is used in a Computer Game.

Each sprite has a set of rules that define how it moves and
how it behaves.
 Scripts
Games are made by giving sprites a
sequence of rules to follow. These
are called scripts.

Scripts often need to be told to

repeat or loop over and over again,
until something instructs it to stop!
You must start every code with a ‘When clicked’
Snapping Blocks
• When you load Scratch,
your default sprite
(character) will be the
Scratch cat.
• To animate this sprite, you
must drag and drop the
blocks from the Block
Palette into the
Scripts Area.
Making Your Sprite Do Stuff

Snapping these blocks

together will move the
sprite 10 steps while
simultaneously rotating it
15 degrees... when the
sprite on the Stage is
clicked
Deleting Sprites

You can delete your

sprite by right-
clicking on its icon
in the Sprite
List and selecting
delete.
Adding Sprites
• You can add sprites
clicking folder/star
icon above the
Sprite List

• Each sprite has its

own Script Window
Choose Your Background!

• Right now, you have a plain, white background – boring!

• You can also change your background by choosing one
from the Scratch library or creating your own!
Activity
Now, We’re Ready to Program!
Now, you should have a sprite and a background that you’d like to work with!

Programming In Scratch!
• In the upper, left-hand corner of your Scratch window,
you will see 8 buttons .
• Each of these buttons have programming blocks in those
areas.
• We will first experiment with the Motion blocks.
 Motion!
• When you click on the motion button, you will see the
programming blocks that can be used with your sprite.
• Let’s all program our sprites with the same code first,
and then you’ll be allowed to experiment on your own!
 Motion!
• Drag out the “move 10 steps” block.

• Change the “10” to “50” by clicking in the block and

typing in 50.
• To see your sprite move 50 pixels to the right, double
click on the block in the Script area. Cool, isn’t it?!
 Motion
• You can also set the motion block to move a negative
number of pixels by typing a negative number in the
block.
• This will move your sprite that number of pixels in the
opposite direction.
 Can you?
– Move your cat forward 20 steps when you press
the
‘go’ button
– Drag your cat back to where she started using
your mouse
– Delete your ‘script’
– Make your cat move forward 50 steps
– Drag your cat back to where she started and
delete your script
– Move your cat backwards 10 steps.
– Delete your script
– Move your cat backwards 20 steps
