What to Focus On

  • Stage: The white area where sprites perform actions.
  • Sprite: The character or object that follows instructions.
  • Script Area: Where you join blocks to make a program.

  • Motion (light blue): Move, turn, point in direction.
  • Looks (purple): Say, think, change costume, show/hide.
