Sequences

Computing

Programming in a block-based environment

Programming sprites

Ordering commands

Combining code blocks in a sequence

Creating a project using a block-based environment

This unit explores the concept of sequencing in programming. Pupils will be introduced to a selection of motion, sound, and event blocks which they will use to create their own programs, featuring sequences. Pupils will make a representation of a piano where they will explore sequence through sound.

Programming sequence using sound

A {{}} is a pattern or process where one thing follows another.

Which of the following events would you use if you wanted a sprite to move each time the space key is pressed?

This sequence of commands will make the sprite turn 90 degrees and then move 200 steps.

Using a random position motion code block means you can set the location of a sprite.

A __________ block is used to control the position of sprites.

You want a sprite to point to the right. Which code block is the correct one to use?

Multiple sprites can be controlled using separate commands.

If you want to add commands to a sprite it must be ...
