How to Make a Simple Animation in Scratch

This video tutorial introduces Scratch, a block-based programming language, and guides viewers through creating a simple animation. It covers the basics of using event, motion, go to, wait, glide, say, hide, and show blocks to animate a sprite and add dialogue. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of block order and demonstrates how to achieve smooth motion and control sprite visibility.

What is the primary method of coding in Scratch?
