What is Scratch ??
JavaScript-based codebase made up of
multiple components such as "Scratch-GUI,"
now based on a library from Blackly,
"Scratch-VM," which interprets code, and
"Scratch-Render," the rendering engine. The
Scratch Blocks are made using Blackly.
Advanced Scripts in Scratch
You have already learnt to animate sprite
using the Motion, Looks and Sound blocks
in Scratch. You have also learnt to add sprite
,delete aspriteand control the position of
sprites.
Let’s see the working of the following script
to recall some of the script blocks....

You can draw your own sprites
(pictures or text) using the Scratch
Paint editor.
Sprite
Click the Paint option in the ‘Sprite’
section to open the Scratch Paint Sprite gallery
editor. Here, you can draw your
sprite using the drawing and painting
tools.

● You can then use an aback drop for

● The Looks category has blocks,
using which you can set or change
the backdrop.
● The given script can be used to
display a different back drop one
by one, from the list of back drops.
Changing the size of as prate makes it
bigger or smaller. You can change the

size of as prate by using the 'set size

Control blocks are used to 6
control the way scripts
execute. Scratch 3 has the Using
following basic Control
blocks.
Control
blocks
The script held inside this block will be
executed in a loop for a specified number
of times, before allowing the remaining
script to continue. This block can be used
to execute the same script repeatedly.
For example, in the adjacent script, the
repeat block is used to change the
costume of the sprite after every 5
seconds. It will repeat this 10 times before
coming to a stop.
.
We know that sound can be played by
using Sound blocks in Scratch. The blocks
available in this category can be used to
7
control the volume, tempo and other
features of the sound being played.
Sounds can be added in Scratch by
importing sound files or recording a new
sound.
The given script will play the sound ‘Meow’
5 times, and gradually decrease the
Using
volume each time.
SoundBlocks
Note that before executing the above script once
again,. you need to run the block to set the
volume to its full value.
We can add new sounds by using the following options Uploadsound
Surprise
•Upload Sound – to uploada soundfile
that is stored on your computer. Record
•Surprise – to add arandom soundfile Choose a sound
from the library.
•Record – to record your own sound

backdrops. You also learnt how to execute
scripts repetitively using control blocks and
applied special effects to sprites.
Let’s see the following script and recall
some of the blocks that we have used.
Assuming that the given script is created
for the Ballerina sprite, the output will show
the dancing Ballerina.
Let use the different image effects on a sprite.
O9:Accepting Inputs from the User Sensing blocks
This category contains the blocks that are used to
accept inputs from the user/ keyboard.
It displays an input box and prompts the user to type
the input.
.
The input entered by the user is stored in the
variable. Let’s see the following script using the
Sensing blocks.
When the green flag is clicked, the sprite will ask for
‘What’s your name?’ and wait for an answer. Once the
user enters an answer and clicks on the blue check
mark, the sprite will display the entered name for 5
seconds.

Position of a Sprite
X and Y co-ordinates
The stage in Scratch can be divided into four
squares using a horizontal and a vertical line.
The four squares thus formed are called
quadrants. The horizontal line represents the
X-axis and the vertical line represents the Y- origi
axis. The ’ x’ position determines the horizontal
location of the sprite and ‘y’ position
determines the vertical location of the sprite.

is zero.
The value of x position of a sprite
increases from 0 to 240 when it
moves to the right from the origin and
decreases from 0 to -240 when the
sprite moves to the left from the
origin. Similarly, the value of y
position of a sprite increases from 0 to
180 when it moves up from origin
and it decreases from 0 to -180 when x-y

You Can Show The Above Background On The Stage By Adding The Xy-grid From
The List Of Backdrops. The Position Of A Sprite On The Stage Is Decided By The
Values Of Its X And Y Coordinates.
If On Edge, Bounce
While Moving A Sprite On The Stage It Can Happen That The Sprite Might Go
Beyond The Boundaries Of The Stage And Disappear. To Avoid This, We Can Use
The If On Edge, Bounce Block.
This Block Checks To See If The Sprite Is Touching The Edges Of The Stage, And If
It Does, It Will Make The Sprite Turn Back In The Opposite Direction.
In The Following Script, The Fish Moves 10 Steps And Waits For 0.05 Seconds.
When It Reaches The Edge Of The Stage, It Will Change Its Direction Instead Of
Going Beyond The Stage Boundary.
Note That The Set Rotation Style Left-right Block Has Been Added To Avoid The
Sprite From Rotating Vertically.

While creating scripts or programs,
we often need to use variables to

store values. A variable is a
placeholder for some value, similar
to the x and y variables in Algebra. Using Variable
In Scratch, variables can be
uniquely labelled by you. They can Blocks
be used by just one sprite or by all
of your sprites.

Creating variables
Step 1: Select the Variable block.
Step 2: Click on Make a variable .
Step 3: Specify the name of the variable and click
OK.
Step 4: The name of the new variable appears with
a check box before it. You can now see the blocks
associated. with the variable.
