A sprite is a character on the screen with _________that describe its __________, ____________, and __________.

• variables, location, movement, look

• properties, size, movement, look

• properties, location, movement, look

• characteristics, location, movement, look

In programming, a parameter is additional ____________ provided as input to a block to customize its functionality.

• variables

• conditionals

• Booleans

• information

In a game you're programming, you have a character sprite that needs to perform different actions depending on whether a player has collected enough points. You want the sprite to jump when the points exceed a certain value. You plan to use a condition to check the points and trigger the sprite's jump.

Which option would help you set up the action for the sprite when the condition is met?

• Create a property to track whether the sprite has jumped already.

• Use a parameter to change the sprite's jump height.

• Use a Boolean expression to check if the player's points are greater than a certain number.

• Create a new variable to store the sprite's location.

What will this line of code do?

• Draw a yellow circle with blue outline in the middle of the screen.

• Draw a yellow square with blue outline in the middle of the screen.

• Draw a blue circle with yellow outline in the middle of the screen.

• Draw a blue circle with blue outline in the middle of the screen.

You are working on a game where the player’s score is stored and updated each time they earn points. The score is displayed on the screen, and every time the player completes a task, the score increases. To make the score trackable, you define a variable to hold this value.

Which of the following best describes the purpose of the variable in this program?

• The variable is used to track the sprite's health, but it is not relevant to the score.

• The variable stores the player's score so that it can be updated and displayed correctly throughout the game.

• The variable is used to define the player's location on the screen.

• The variable determines the speed of the sprite's movement in the game.

The randomNumber() block allows programs to behave...

• differently each time they are run, creating unpredictable characters.

• the same each time they are run, creating unpredictable behaviors.

• differently each time they are run, creating unpredictable behaviors.

• differently each time they are run, creating predictable behaviors.

In programming, a variable is... 

• A label for a piece of information used in a program.

• A label for a sprite property used in a program.

• An algorithm used in a program.

• A label for a piece of information used in a flowchart.

Which of the following would be the most effective way to fix the issue in your program?

• Use debugging to identify the part of the program where the bug occurs and fix it.

• Change the condition to check whether the sprite is at the correct position before making it move.

• Add a parameter to the sprite's property to adjust its speed.

• Use dot notation to directly access and modify the sprite's location property.

In programming, a property is...

• Part of a program that does not work correctly.

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

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

• Statements that only run when certain conditions are true.

The y-coordinate tells us how far our shape is from...

• the bottom of the grid.

• the top of the grid.

• the right hand side of the grid.

• the left hand side of the grid.
