Events and Repeat Loops

Events Kick Everything Off

The Events palette starts your scripts. The green flag block when ▼ clicked is the most common start.

when ▼ clicked · when space key pressed · when sprite clicked · when I receive message

Loops Repeat Blocks

The Control palette has the loops:

• repeat 10 — run a fixed number of times
• forever — keep running until stopped
• wait 1 seconds — pause between actions

Sending Messages

Use broadcast hello to trigger other sprites. A sprite with when I receive hello will react. This is how you coordinate scenes and characters!

Challenge

Build a bouncing ball: green flag → forever → move 10 steps → if on edge, bounce → wait 0.1 seconds.
