We shall also learn how to create and edit our own sprite. Launching Scratch Open Start menu > All Programs > click on Scratch folder > click on Scratch option. Scratch Project Window Every animation in Scratch is treated as a separate project. Scratch interface shows the project window. Project window is composed of following main parts: Scratch Menu bar: This bar displays simple menus named File, Edit, Tips and About.

Sprites are various objects that together make your animation. Scripts Panel: It lists all the script blocks that are used to design the animation script. Blocks are arranged in various categories like Motion, Events, Pen etc. Script Editor: It is the large work area in which animation script is created by drag- dropping the required blocks. 104

Script: It is the set of blocks arranged to define how the desired animation should work. Script is created by drag-dropping blocks from the set of blocks. Blocks panel contains all the building blocks of your animation. Block: You can think of a block as an instruction. For example, is a block which will instruct the sprite to move 10 steps forward. Sprites Library Above the Sprites palette, click on Sprites from library icon. Sprites library will be displayed where sprites are organized in various categories.

Events Imagine you are reading a story book at your home and the call bell rings. What you may do? You may stop reading and open the door. So, ringing of the call bell has made you open the door. Here, call bell rings is an event. In Scratch, an event is something that occurs due to user's action. For example, you may click on the sprite with the mouse.

This way, Amon would move on mouse click on it and stop on space key press. Making Sprite Play Sound Sprites can play sounds. Let us play the Cymbal when it is clicked.
