Starting from scratch lesson 2

Hey guys of the internet and welcome back to starting from scratch part 2. Today you will learn about sprites and the code blocks. If you enjoy this series be sure to leave a comment!


Sprites are the objects which you can code. In most games they are characters. You start of with the famous orange cat. If you don't like him you can choose from many sprites or upload your own, even make your own! To do so click the buttons below the coordinates. The far left one will take you to the sprite page which have at-least 50 sprites, then theres the upload your own. Lastly the make your own button.


 Your " coding blocks " are the little block looking thingys that code the game. They are just basically simplified code. In the 2.0 update there are 10 different types of blocks. There is:

Motion

Looks

Sound

Pen

Data

Events

Control

Sensing

Operators and more blocks.


In this part we will talk about motion, next week we will talk about the rest. Motion is the movement of your sprite. These are the blocks you can code with, move ()* steps, turn () degrees, point in direction (), point towards ^*, go towards x: () y:(), go to ^ glide () secs to x: () y: (), change x by (), set x to (), change y by (), set y to (), if on edge bounce, set rotation style ^.


* , choose number to put in

^, pop-down menu with options.


So like i said before the motion blocks are the movement of your character.


Thats all for today so have a nice day!

The 520 is a small and reliable phone. You can customise the built in app colours and the background. ( mines lime on black! ) get X-box apps and use its awesome outer camera. Speaking about the camera a was quite disappointed when i found out there was no front camera! So for all those selfie going party people i would advise not to get this phone! For and person that owns a windows 8 computer you would know that you can make the app / programs bigger or smaller. You can do that with this too! Plus you can chamge the app colours from heaps of choices. As i said before there is the ability to get X-box games. Of course you can only get the ones that got ported but its still pretty good. For example i have mirrors edge, jetpack joyride and kinetimals. One thing that was a little b...
