Animating Sprites with Code
Students translate simple algorithms into block-based code to create basic animations and movement.
Key Questions
- Construct a sequence of blocks to make a sprite move across the screen.
- Analyze how changing numerical values in blocks affects animation speed.
- Design a short animation sequence using loops and movement blocks.
