Use a sprite to display your favourite colour. The script should also change the colour of the sprite to the same colour. Position of a Sprite X and Y co-ordinates The stage in Scratch can be divided into four squares using a horizontal and a vertical line. The four squares thus formed are called quadrants. The horizontal line represents the X-axis and the vertical line represents the Y-axis. The ‘x’ position determines the horizontal location of the sprite and ‘y’ position determines the vertical location of the sprite. The point at which the X and Y-axis meet is called the origin. The value of x and y at origin is zero. X=-240 Y= 180 xe-240 x=240 Ye -180 Ye +180 The value of x position of a sprite increases from 0 to 240 when it moves to the right from * he origin and decreases from 0 to -240 when the sprite moves t©the left from the origin, Similarly, the value of from 0 to 180 when it MOVEs up from Origin ar Tom the origin, Y Position of a sprite increases it ind it decreases from 0 to -18 when the sprite Moves down fj lecre: 0 You can show the above background on the stage by adding the Xy-grid from the list of backdrops. The Position of a sprite on the stage is decided by the Values of its x and y coordinates.n the stage it can happen that the sprite might f the stage and disappear. To avoid this, we can 2 se If on edge, bounce While moving @ sprite oO beyond the boundaries 0} the If on edge, bounce block. This block checks to see if the sprite is touching the edges of the stage, ang if it does, it will make the sprite turn back in the opposite direction, In the following script, the fish moves 10 steps and waits for 0,05 seconds, When it reaches the edge of the stage, it will change its direction insteaq of going beyond the stage boundary. Note that the set rotation style left-right block has been added to avoid the sprite from rotating vertically. a1 ees Dfeitars a vetia) eR ass ater id i Script Output of script Using Variable Blocks While creating scripts or programs, we often need to use vari bles to store values.
