1 EGN-1002 Circuit analysis Module Introduction to Scratch Slide: 1

2 Intro to visual programming environment Intro to programming with multimedia Story-telling, music-making, game-making Intro to programming concepts: objects, attributes, sequence, repetition, conditions, events, I/O Slide: 2

3 What is Scratch Scratch is a free programmable toolkit that enables users to create their own games, animated stories, and interactive art and share their creations with one another over the Internet. Use of scratch allows you to: Create solutions to problems using computers Study information Invent algorithms Write programs to implement the algorithms Reuse a lot of existing program and machine parts Slide: 3

4 Start Scratch Open web browser Navigate to: Slide: 4

5 Scratch start window Stage area This is where the result of your program execution will be seen Sprite list Blocks palette Scripts area Your construct your script here by putting together command blocks from the Blocks palette. List of existing or created objects which are used in your script. Slide: 5

6 What Scratch can do Can make cartoons Can create stories Can create video games Elements of Scratch: objects Colors Sounds Locations in 2D space Sprites Costumes Variables (to remember the state of things) Events: that are broadcast for communication Slide: 6

7 Your first script Make sure to have a sprite selected in the Sprite list Drag shown blocks into Script area. Click the sprite in the Stage area Slide: 7

8 Add new stage Slide: 8

9 Stage dimensions These are x- and y- coordinates for the stage: x = -240 y = 180 y x = 240 y = 180 x = 0 y = 0 x x = -240 y = -180 x = 240 y = -180 Slide: 9

10 Add new sprite Slide: 10

11 Loop constructs in Scratch Repeat N times Repeat forever Repeat forever if some condition exists Slide: 11

12 Compose program in Scratch Slide: 12

13 Compose scripts in Scratch Examples of loops and IF operators: Slide: 13
