Welcome to Scratch Basics Introduction.

00:20.140 --> 00:24.920
This episode will introduce you to the Basics Scratch Working Environment, where we will explore

00:24.920 --> 00:30.640
different sections of the Scratch Editor. To create a game, interactive story, animation,

00:30.640 --> 00:36.640
or artwork in Scratch, you must add code to tell a sprite exactly what to do. A sprite

00:36.640 --> 00:42.360
is a computer picture that will follow your commands. And the Scratch Editor automatically

00:42.360 --> 00:49.160
starts with a cat's sprite for all projects. This area here is called the Sprites pane.

00:49.160 --> 00:53.760
You can add new sprites, delete a sprite, and see all of the different sprites that you've

00:53.760 --> 00:59.000
added in your project in this area. Any sprites added will appear on the stage located

00:59.000 --> 01:04.440
here. The stage is the area where you will see your code come to life. You can think

01:04.440 --> 01:09.960
of this area just like a Broadway stage where actors perform on. This is where the sprites

01:09.960 --> 01:14.680
will follow the coded commands that you have put together in the code area, just like actors

01:14.680 --> 01:20.880
follow the scripts that's created for them. The stage is also the background of your project,

01:20.880 --> 01:25.360
and you can personalize it by adding different backdrops from the backdrops library located

01:25.360 --> 01:26.960
here. Thanks for watching!
