Blocks
You can easily place blocks in the script
area by dragging and dropping them.
They can be used to program without
needing to remember commands, as in
text-based programming.
If you scroll down here you can see ten
categories of blocks.
This is where you build and run your
Script program. comments can be attached to
scripts to explain what certain blocks do.
Used to connect devices( Magicbit,
Connect devices Arduino, Microbit etc)
Sprite
Sprites are the objects that perform
actions in a project like the bunny that's in
the upper right corner.
You can upload your own sprite or choose
from available sprites as shown below
