            Scratch teaches you the basics of programming in a fun and visual way. Let us now
            learn to create even more interesting projects.


            WORKING WITH MULTIPLE SPRITES
            Scratch allows you to work with more than one sprite in a project. Each sprite needs to

            be programmed separately to perform specific actions.

            Adding a New Sprite

            By default, every new Scratch project starts with one sprite – the Cat. You can add new
            sprites using the Choose a Sprite button in the Sprite Info pane.

            To add a new sprite:

                1.  Move  the  mouse  over  the
                    Choose a Sprite            button in

                    the Sprites Info pane.
                    A list of options pops up.

                2.  Select the  Choose a Sprite
                    option.

                    The Sprites Library opens.                                                    3



                                               3.  Select the sprite you want to add to the project.
                                                   The  selected sprite appears  on  the Stage, and  its

                                                   thumbnail is added to the Sprites Info pane. You can
                                                   drag and position the sprite anywhere on the Stage.
                                           To create your own sprite:

                                               1.  Move the mouse over the Choose a Sprite                  button
                                                   in the Sprites Info pane.
                                                   A list of options pops up.


                                                                                                                 39
