I did a tutorial in scratch (https://scratch.mit.edu/) to learn how the coding works.
First; pick a background: I picked a witch house
Second; Pick a character (they call these ‘sprites’): I picked a witch and a princess.
Third: use the codes :
looks code _ to make the character say something
motion code_ to make the character to move to different positions
sound code_ to make your character to make a sound for example meow
events code_ to make the character to do what you want it to do example when green flag is clicked go to random position
From this first attempt at coding, I learned some of the basic codes to have characters move and speak. I also learned how to make the clip start and stop. I plan to now try to make my own small clip.
