    • Run the program

    • Make the stage full screen

    Correct Answer

    Which of the following will make the sprite move?

    • If on edge, bounce

    • Turn 15 degree clockwise

    • Move 10 steps

    • Point in direction 90

    Correct Answer
    A. Move 10 steps
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Move 10 steps" because this block of code instructs the sprite to move forward or backward by a specified number of steps. It is a basic command in programming that allows the sprite to change its position on the screen. The other options, "If on edge, bounce," "Turn 15 degrees clockwise," and "Point in direction 90," do not involve movement of the sprite.

    To change the appearance of a sprite, we added....

    • Extra sprites

    • Costumes

    • Backgrounds

    • Variables

    Correct Answer
    A. Costumes
    Explanation
    To change the appearance of a sprite, we added costumes. Costumes are different images or designs that can be applied to a sprite to change its look. By adding costumes, we can create animations, make the sprite appear differently in different situations, or add visual effects to enhance the overall appearance of the sprite.

    We create code to control the characters. These codes are known as:

    • Scripts

    • Stage directions

    • Code

    • Instructions

    Correct Answer
    A. Scripts
    Explanation
    In programming, scripts are used to control the behavior and actions of characters or objects. They contain a series of instructions or code that define how the characters should behave. Scripts are commonly used in video games, animations, and interactive media to create interactive experiences. Therefore, the correct answer is "Scripts".

    In order to keep a score during a game, you need to add a.....

    • List

    • Costumer

    • Variable

    • Background

    Correct Answer
    A. Variable
    Explanation
    In order to keep a score during a game, you need to add a variable. A variable is a container that stores a value, and in this case, it can be used to store and update the score as the game progresses. By using a variable, the score can be easily manipulated and displayed to the player.

    In order to keep a score during a game, you need to add a.......

    • Background

    • Costume

    • Variable

    • List

    Correct Answer
    A. Variable
    Explanation
    To keep a score during a game, you need to add a variable. A variable is a value that can change during the game, representing the score. It allows for the score to be updated and manipulated as the game progresses. A background, costume, or list would not be suitable for keeping track of the score as they do not have the ability to dynamically change or store numerical values.

    • Variables

    • Sensing

    Explanation
    The code that controls what to do when one sprite is touching another is found in the Sensing menu. This menu contains blocks that allow the programmer to detect and respond to various events and conditions, such as when two sprites collide. By using the blocks in the Sensing menu, the programmer can create code that specifies the actions to be taken when a collision occurs between sprites.

    • Red

    • Purple

    • Blue

This includes blocks for moving sprites in different directions, changing their speed, and controlling their rotation. Therefore, if you want to make a sprite move, you would look for the necessary script in the Motion category.
