The next step to in Scratch is to get a good understanding of how to write the code that changes Backdrops or Scenes in the program so you can tell a story, create a video game and more.

In this activity, you will watch a brief video explaining the concepts of Backdrop changing, look at my example project..... and then come up with your own coding example that has the following:

Project Requirements

• A character that will move from one Backdrop/Scene to Another
• The character will "say" a few words related to the situation (using speech bubbles) before moving across the stage to the next Scene
• Some background music or sound effect related to your change of scene will play .

Things to spend time on to get them right:

• The timing on when the speech bubble appears, how long it stays on the screen, the movement of the character - you will need to use "wait" commands
• The movement of your character needs to be smooth from scene to scene
• You will need to show movement on two different planes ( x and y) (see my example)

** all of these take time, trial and error, experimentation and testing to get right

Here is a short video to watch explaining how to change backdrops - there are many different ways to accomplish this with code.

Below is also my sample example (just for inspiration, not to copy)

Have a look at Bat Boy. Click "See Inside" to see the different coding blocks I used.
