LESSON 7: Sprites

Define "Property" in Code.org.

• an attribute, quality, or characteristic of something

• The location of a sprite being plotted on the grid.

• a thing or things belonging to someone; possessions collectively.

• A label for a characteristic of a sprite, such as its location and appearance

Define "Sprite" in Code.org.

• A charter on the screen with properties that ONLY describes its looks.

• A character on the screen with properties that describe its location, movement, and look.

• Shapes integrated to create an animation.

• The value of a property.

What command will draw all of your created sprites on the screen?

Define "Dot Notation" in Code.org.

• Dot notation keeps the code running.

• It allows sprites to connect with a variable

• the way that sprites' properties are used in Game Lab, by connecting the sprite and property with a dot.

• makes it possible to access the attributes, methods and instances of a class and to access attributes and methods of the class instances

How can we use sprites to help us keep track of lots of information in our programs?

TRUE OR FALSE? If you attempt to set a sprite property to an incorrect value, the property reverts to its default value.

• TRUE

• FALSE

What are the different ways to get an image?

• Use an animation already in the animation tab library

• Upload a Creative Commons image

• Use my favorite video game characters

• Create my own using the provided drawing tools

It is not enough to create the image (or animation) in the Animation Tab. We then have to add the animation to the sprite using the

• sprite size block

• setAnimation block
