Scavenger hunt

In this lab, you will explore the functionality of some common blocks and where they are in the palette.

Part 1: Locating common blocks

  1. Fill in the name of the category to which each block belongs in the chart below. The first one is already filled in for example.
Block Category
point in direction motion
think
play notes
set pen color
glide
repeat
change pen size
set effect
go to x-y
set size
rest for beats
point towards

Part 2: What does it do

  1. Describe the function of each block in the chart below. If the block accepts arguments (contains values that you can change), be sure to test out a few different ones to make sure you fully understand what those values mean. The first one is already filled in for example.

    Block Function
    point in direction Changes the direction that the sprite is facing. The argument indicates the number of degrees the sprite turns clockwise from pointing upwards. When the argument is "90", the sprite points right, and so on.
    think
    play notes
    set pen color
    glide
    repeat
    change pen size
    set effect
    go to x-y
    set size
    rest for beats
    point towards
  2. At this point, you may be noticing some patterns. Use what you've learned from exploring these blocks. What do the blocks in the indicated pallette do?

    Pallette Function
    Motion
    Looks
    Sound
    Pen

Part 3: Put it all together

You are now going to use some of the blocks you've explored to create, save, and submit your program.

  1. Create a script that plays 4 different notes with at least 2 rests in between.
  2. Use the repeat block to play the song you create in number 1 in a loop.
  3. Create a script that initializes the sprite at position (-20, 10). Then, have the sprite draw a shape that has at least 2 different colors and 2 different line thicknesses. An example would be a square that has 2 thin red sides, and 2 thick blue sides.
  4. Save your project as Lab1.2.
