Block Programming
In today’s session, we’re diving deep into one of the most powerful features of Scratch — Sensing Blocks. These blocks allow your projects to interact with the world, detect touches, respond to colors, receive user input, sense sound levels, track mouse and keyboard actions, and even keep time!
“Control blocks” in Scratch are those blocks (from the Control category) that manage the flow of your script: when things happen, how many times they happen, making decisions, repeating actions, timing pauses, stopping or creating clones, etc. These are essential when doing Scratch programming for beginners, because they let your sprites do more than just move: they allow logic, loops, and interactivity.
Welcome to this tutorial on Scratch Event Blocks—your introduction to event-driven programming, where creativity meets interactivity!
how powerful Scratch’s event blocks can be in bringing projects to life. From click-triggered animations to keyboard-controlled actions and sprite-to-sprite conversations, these blocks form the foundation for dynamic storytelling and engaging, user-driven experiences.
In this comprehensive Create Stunning Geometric Art in Scratch tutorial, you’ll learn how to draw fascinating geometric shapes and bring them to life using vibrant colors, smart loops, and the powerful pen extension tool in Scratch.
this tutorial walks you through step-by-step how to combine logic and artistry to generate stunning geometric art. The video shows how to use loops in Scratch, control angles and movement, and draw patterns that are both visually appealing and mathematically intriguing.
Sound is one of the most powerful tools in storytelling and game design. In Scratch, adding music, sound effects, and voice recordings doesn’t just make your project “heard”—it makes it felt. Whether you’re designing an interactive game, animating a fun story, or building your first coding project, Scratch sound blocks help you turn static scenes into immersive experiences.
Scratch tutorial focused on Looks blocks—the essential building blocks for adding visual flair to your animations, games, and interactive stories. In this article, you’ll find step-by-step explanations, live coding examples, and practical tips. Plus, we’ll explore how Looks blocks integrate seamlessly with other Scratch programming concepts for full creative control.
we’ll walk you through one of the most exciting concepts in 2D game development: the scrolling background and character animation effect. This type of animation makes your game environment feel alive and dynamic, just like popular side-scrolling games such as Super Mario Bros. or Sonic the Hedgehog.
