Unit 7

Topic Description:

Sprites are the visual elements (objects) in block style programing that act like programs (within the program). Unlike functions, Sprites are not just input/output machines. They have attributes, behaviors, and can interact.

Questions to be addressed:

• • What is a “sprite”?

  • What is an “event” in blockly style programming, how do they work, and what varieties of them are there?

  • What are “behaviors” in blockly style programming and how do they work?

  • How is a “behavior” different from an “event”?
