Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Blocks in Scratch can be used to control the movement of a sprite.
- A sprite has three features that can be changed: code, costumes and sounds.
Common misconception
Point in direction turns the sprite the amount of degrees from which it is already facing.
The point in direction block includes numbers which represent the turn in degrees from the upward reference point. 90 degrees makes the sprite face right, 180 degrees faces down, -90 faces left and 0 makes the sprite face the top.
Keywords
