Control Blocks
          The Control blocks, colour-coded orange, are used to control the scripts.

              Block                                               Function

                          Waits for a specified number of seconds before moving to the next block.


                          Repeats the enclosed stack of blocks for a specified number of times.




                          Repeats the enclosed stack of blocks until the script is stopped.



                          Executes the enclosed stack of blocks if the specified condition is True.



                          Executes the enclosed stack of blocks if the specified condition is True
                          else executes the other stack of blocks.




          Events Blocks
          The Events blocks, colour-coded yellow, are used to sense events, which cause scripts
          to execute.

                  Block                                               Function

                                  Executes the script when the Go button is clicked.


                                  Executes the script when the specified key is pressed.


                                  Executes the script when the associated sprite is clicked on Stage.



                  Try This                                                                             Logical Thinking

             Match the block to its correct function.

                        Block                                         Function
                                    •         • Executes the script when the specified key is pressed

                                    •         • Waits for a specified seconds before moving to the next block


                                    •         • Turns the sprite ‘n’ degrees clockwise

                                    •         • Displays a speech bubble above the sprite for a specified time

                                    •         • Turns the sprite by ‘n’ degrees anticlockwise





                                                                                                              71
