• On the right side of the screen is our editing space. This is where we'll drag and drop blocks onto to create the game.

• The center column is where we'll find all the different blocks with which to choose from.

• The game console on the left-hand side of the screen is where our code comes to life and where we can test our games out.

• This category allows us to create and define Sprites. Sprites are the objects what we control in our games. They can be players, enemies, food, projectiles, and more!

• These blocks let us define which buttons control what. For example if we want button A on our controller to shoot out arrows.

• Let us control the timeline of the game as well as when the player loses or wins.

• Add music and sound effects.

Control the background and screen dimensions of the game.

• Control core game elements such as score, lives and game clock.

• For repeating certain code blocks on different conditions.

• Tell certain code blocks to execute based on a condition.

• Create variables which are used to store data like the velocity of a sprite.

• Allow various mathematical functions. Can be used to modify variables for example.

Access code blocks to:

• Images: Create and edit graphics of sprites and backgrounds.
• Functions: Create custom functions to call within the program.
• Arrays: Create lists of data.
• Text: Create strings. Could be used to create speech bubbles for characters.
• Console: Help with debugging or troubleshooting errors in the program.
• Extensions: Access additional block types like animations.
