Activity
Now, Arun and Raj understand about each block what they do. But Raj does not know how to use them in the project. So, they decided to see how each block work.
For this activity, they select an underwater backdrop from backdrop lists and Fish from Sprite lists.
Arun pick 
block from the motion menu drop it to the scripting area.
Raj – Why the fish is not moving?
Arun- These blocks work when you click on it. Now see the fish has moved 10 steps in the direction it is facing.
Raj- Yes! You are right. Let’s see what next block does.
Arun- Drag 
block and snap this block beneath previous block.
As you can see, the direction in which fish is facing is 90°. Let’s see what will happen if you click on it.
Raj- Arun see the fish moved 10 steps more with 15° change in direction i.e., this will help the sprite to move clockwise.
Arun- Yes you are right.
Similarly, when you use 
block under the move block.
See, direction is 105° initially. Now click on the script to see what it does.
As you can see, the direction changes to 90° also with some increment in steps i.e. this block moves the fish in anti-clockwise direction.
Raj- This is very interesting. By this our fish can move in any direction.
Arun- Yes! Let’s move forward.
Now pick 
block and place it under the previous code.
Raj- By clicking on script, the fish is moving randomly over the stage.
Arun- Yes to see the movement you can click multiple times and every time fish will move randomly.
Raj- Great! Arun what is the use of 
block?
Arun- Let’s drag it out and place it under our code.
Raj- Oh! This block moved the fish at the centre of the stage.
Arun- You can move your fish to any position by changing the values of X and Y coordinates.
Raj- I am very excited to see what next block will do.
Arun- Next is 
block. Let’s place it under the script.
Arun- Do you see that. Now our fish is gliding to any position all over the stage.
Raj- Here also we can click multiple times to glide our fish continuously.
Arun- Yes!
Arun- Raj now you tell what 
block will do?
Raj- I can tell exactly after placing this block in our previous script.
Arun- Don’t forget to remove the previous block we used. Otherwise, you will not be able to see its working properly.
Raj- Ok!
Raj- I also changed the values of X and Y coordinates.
Arun- Now see the fish is gliding to your mentioned position.
Raj- This is getting very interesting.
Arun- Let’s move forward.
Now 
block, when you will place this block in your script then you will see after following instructions in your code the fish points towards 90° direction.
Raj- Oh! This means during the whole project the sprite can move anywhere but at the last it will point to given direction.
Arun- I think now you are learning how to use these blocks.
Raj- Yes! Now tell me about next block
Arun- Okay!
Next is 
block. For this you have to add another sprite to our project. You can also point towards the mouse pointer but to show its working clearly. I am pointing this to another sprite.
Raj- when I add another sprite, my code was not present there.
Arun- Don’t worry Raj, your code is safe and stored in first sprites scripting area.
Every sprite needs to have their own script to perform any task.
Raj-Okay!
Arun- Click on the script.
Raj- The fish is pointing towards the Starfish.
Arun- With this block the Fish will always point to the Starfish.
Raj- With these blocks we can make our project interesting and interactive.
Arun – Yes! Raj you are right but there are some more blocks to learn like 
block. Let’s place it under our script.
Arun- As you can see the X coordinate of our fish is -123 after clicking on the code, can you tell what happen Raj?
Raj- The X coordinate is changed to -113. That means this block is used to change the X coordinate of the sprite every time the program runs.
Arun – Yes! But if you have to set a particular value of x coordinate then use
block. Just drag out this block and place it under the script but remember to remove the previous block we used.
Raj – Okay! I changed the value to -145 and click on the script.
Arun- Now you can see the value remain fixed.
Similarly, we can do this with Y coordinates.
Arun- Take 
block and place it under your code.
Arun- On clicking the Y coordinate changes by value of 10.
Raj- Yes! It will change every time on clicking.
Arun- To let this value to be some fixed value we will use 
block.
Place it similarly as we done with x coordinate block.
Raj- The value of Y coordinate gets fixed to the given value.
Raj- These blocks are really helpful to adjust the position of sprite.
Arun- Yes Raj! There are some other blocks which can help to make our sprite to be seen on stage only.
Raj- How?
Arun- This 
block helps the sprite to flip its direction whenever touches the edge.
Raj- Can u show me?
Arun- Why not! Open scripting area of our another sprite , Starfish. Drag the block and place it on the programming area.
Raj- Arun you are right. When I clicked on the block the starfish shifted out of the edge.
Raj – What for these 
, 
and 
blocks are used.
Arun- For that, just click on the check boxes in front of these blocks.
Arun- On clicking, you will see the x position, y position and direction of your sprite will be displayed on the stage.
Raj- This will let us know about the exact location of the sprite.
Arun- You are right.
Raj- This was very interesting and now we know how to move our fish to make this project.
Arun- Yes! Now we can add these blocks to make our fish move underwater. There are other blocks also which can make our project more exciting.
We will learn about them next time.
