Explain the purpose of the 'Stage' and 'Sprites' in Scratch.

• The 'Stage' is where the characters are programmed, and the 'Sprites' are the background images.

• The 'Stage' is used for creating animations, while the 'Sprites' are used for sound effects.

• The purpose of the 'Stage' is to provide the backdrop and scripts for the main action, while the 'Sprites' are the characters or objects that perform actions with their own scripts and costumes.

• The 'Stage' is for storing variables, and the 'Sprites' are for controlling the flow of the program.

What are blocks in Scratch programming?

• Text-based commands for advanced users in Scratch programming.
