Surpassing Scratch

  Griffpatch is the most known scratcher in the Scratch community, because he is the smartest person and yet so determined to be on scratch. Because he made 2D Minecraft, geometry dash, multiplayer coding, and many other devlogs in scratch. When the official Scratch channel cannot persuade enough coders, he did. He did so many features in scratch and made the community more self-aware of how to do stuff and made so many people interest him, this blog will only feature stuff griffpatch hasn't talked about and if you ever need more advice about scratch, go to him more. Credit to him for making this entire article's inspiration and credit again for making me show a beginner video. Here is a playlist of it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D16hTnDGweo&list=PLy4zsTUHwGJIATydhFeZa5pspLZR7yE__

  Instead of watching/reading every single tutorial manually, you can read this article just to saving some time in your life. To start, in the tutorials, there are categories. Getting Started Basics Intermediate Prompts Each category will be at least 4 tutorials and totally there are 27 tutorials, which is why is article is made. Anyways time to start: CATEGORY 1: GETTING STARTED Getting Started (Tutorial):  This was just the introduction where it is a program. Getting Started ASL:  This tutorial was just a longer version of the last one but longer and was talking about motion and looks block but was all too basic. Add a Sprite:  This tutorial thought you how to add another sprite, you just need to hover over the cat button on the bottom right of your screen and see your options. Add a Backdrop:  Ditto as "Add a sprite" but this is a backdrop, you do the same with the picture button (not the cat one). Animate a Sprite:  To animate a sprite, you need costu...

  Blocks are a set of commands that are called "command blocks" to form a create a whole code. You can place these in sprites and backdrops, but I never explained what they are: Sprites are your characters that will move and interact in scratch. Backdrops are your backgrounds. They are 9 unique types of blocks that do a different function than the other in scratch, they're: Motion Looks Sound Events Control Sensing Operators Variables My Blocks Motion Blocks: These blocks help the sprites to move from a place to another and change their angle and direction, like all other games. They have coordinates, so like that Scratch has one too! With specific blocks that stand them out and these blocks are not there in backdrops. Look Blocks:   Look Blocks have something for the viewer to look at, while although most blocks do the same, this one is its main purpose. It makes sprites say something without the viewer saying anything in return and switches costumes of sprites and chan...

  In order to make your sprite move and jump, first thing we need are some costumes. Costumes are the sudden change of appearance of the sprite and is basically advanced animation, your sprite must have a walk costume, jump costumes is optional but recommended at times. Most sprites in scratch already have these types of costumes but this information is given here for people who are making their own. Next thing we need are some commands; commands are a set a block codes formed together to make a whole command. All blocks are mentioned in the next article, if you are making a game these should be your codes: use this in direction to make your sprite look left upright, and not upside down.
