The block displays a speech bubble with the specified text for the sprite that runs it, which appears on
the screen for the specified amount of seconds.

The block gives its sprite a speech bubble with the specified text — the speech bubble stays until
another speech or thought block is activated, or the stop sign is pressed.

The block gives its sprite a thought bubble with the specified text, which stays for the specified amount
of seconds.

The block gives its sprite a thought bubble with the specified text. The thought bubble stays until a
speech or thought block with its text block empty is activated, or the stop sign is pressed.

The block changes its sprite’s costume to a specified one.

The block changes its sprite’s costume to the next one in the costumes pane, but if the current costume
is the last in the list, the block will loop to the first.

The block changes the Stage’s backdrop to the specified one.

The block changes the backdrop to the next in the list of backdrops, but if the current backdrop is the
last in the list, the block will loop to the first.

The block changes its sprite’s size by the specified amount. The default sprite size is 100; size values
below that percentage are for shrunken sprites, and size values above it are for overlarge sprites.

The block sets its sprite’s size to the specified amount. The default sprite size is 100%; anything lower
than that will decrease the size of the sprite on the stage, and anything above will increase the size of
the sprite on the stage.

11

The block changes the specified effect on its sprite by the specified amount. There are seven different
effects to choose from: colour, fisheye, whirl, pixelate, mosaic, brightness and ghost.
