New Tag: Broadcast
New Tag: Broadcast
🎥 Video Tutorial: Using the Broadcast tag to change backgrounds or send messages to other sprites. (2 minutes)
Instead of hitting keys to move forward in your program, you can send a message to all sprites and background to move to the next setting.
See below, that when you broadcast "Vietnam" you can tell the sprite to then talk about Vietnam AND at the same time, tell the background to change to the image of the papaya.
When you click on the downward arrow in that input to choose the broadcast names, one of the choices (the only choice, the first time) is “new,” which then prompts you to enter a name for the new broadcast.
When this block is run, the chosen message is sent to every sprite, which is why the block is called “broadcast.” In this program, though, only one sprite has a script to run when that broadcast is sent, namely Ha. Because Ha's script uses broadcast instead of "hit the down arrow," the viewer can enjoy the journey instead of having to click through it.
