Using Sprite Lab in code.org (Homework 1)

What does this "World" section do in sprite lab?

• Controls what happens in the background

• Controls the sprites

• Changes the colour.

• Controls everything

Why should you never leave a project without a title?

• It becomes difficult to find later.

• It is helpful for people that you share the project with.

• Both of these responses are correct

What does the "Run" button do?

• Runs the set of instructions that you have given the computer (the algorithm).

• Creates a background.

• Causes the character to run.

• Checks that your program is running properly.

What does the "Events" section do in code.org?

• Creates a condition that will cause particular code to run.

• Make the characters move

• Change the background.

• Change the sprite.

What do the behaviours Blocks do in code.org?(which is the most accurate description)

• Cause the sprites to start and stop different behaviour types (e.g. growing, moving with arrow keys)

• Make the characters move.

• Make the characters speak.

• Change the background.

What is a loop in coding?

• Something that goes through code a specified number of times.

• Something that causes things to spin around.

• Something that reverses the order of the code.

• An advanced feature of coding that you will never need to know about.

What is an algorithm?

• A set of instructions that is understandable by a computer.

• Any set of instructions.

• A computer language.

• An advanced area of computer science you will never need to know.

Blast from the past - Give the best description of decomposition?

• Breaking any task down into small sets of instructions.

• Identifying common features.

• Recognising patterns that exist.

• It's another term for computer coding.

What does the "200, 200" mean here?

• It means it will be 200 pixels wide by 200 pixels tall.

• These are x and y coordinates - the image will be placed 200 pixels to the right and 200 pixels up.

• This will generate 200 sprites.

• These numbers have no effect when the code is run.

You have accidentally entered this code. The rabbit will not grow. Why?

• You have not told the computer that you want the rabbit to grow. You assigned this behaviour to a different sprite.

• You have to match the same colour blocks to each other.

• You need an extra block that tells the rabbit how quickly it needs to grow.

• This is a trick question - this actually would work perfectly.
