Lesson Details
Key learning points
- The motion code blocks add movement to a sprite.
- Multiple sprites can be controlled with separate movement commands.
- The stage provides a backdrop for sprites when they carry out commands.
- Random position motion blocks add unpredictability to commands.
Common misconception
Some pupils may think that a code block applies to all the sprites in a project.
Multiple sprites can be controlled using separate commands and they each need their own code blocks to control them.
Keywords
