Play ▶️

Click on each sprite to see what they do. What happens if you click on one sprite and then quickly click on another sprite?

A sprite can have code, costumes, and sounds to change the way that it looks and what it does. Add code blocks to make Pico emote with words and sound when the sprite is clicked.

**Emotes** are a way of showing the personality of a character in a game. They can use speech, sounds, movement, and graphic effects, just like in Scratch. Do you play any games that use emotes?

An animation of the blocks snapping together. When Pico is clicked on, they say "Hello!" for two seconds.

+when this sprite clicked
say [Hello!] for [2] seconds // hide speech after 2 seconds

Code comments

say [Hello!] for [2] seconds // hide speech after 2 seconds

You will see comments in code examples. You don't need to add the comments when you add code to your project.

If you have time when you have finished your project, it is a good idea to add comments to your code so that it is easier to understand later. Try adding a comment now. Right-click (or on a tablet, tap and hold) on a block in the Code area and choose Add Comment.

The pop-up menu that appears when you right-click on a block. 'Add Comment' is selected.

Test

Test: Click on the Pico sprite on the Stage and check that the speech bubble appears for two seconds. It is important to test your code to make sure that it does what you expect.

Change the words and number of seconds in the think block.

Test: Click on the Giga sprite on the Stage and check that the sprite changes colour and shows a thought bubble.

Sprites can also use thought bubbles and change colours to show their personality. You will get Giga to do this.

Make Giga change colour

Add the Giga sprite.

Drag the Giga sprite to the right-hand side of the Stage.

Make sure that you have the Giga sprite selected in the Sprite list below the Stage. Add this code to make the Giga sprite communicate by changing colour:

when this sprite clicked
set [color v] effect to [0] // 0 is the starting colour
think [Hmm...] for [2] seconds 
clear graphic effects // back to the starting colour

Tip: Click on the sprite in the Sprite list below the Stage before you add or change code, costumes, or sound. Make sure that you have clicked on the correct sprite.

Try different numbers from 1 to 200 in the set color effect to block until you find a colour that you like.

Follow this step in the original project.

Add the **Tera** sprite and use any of the blocks that you have learned about to make an 'emote' for the **Tera** sprite.

You could also use the Text to Speech extension to make Tera speak out loud:

The Tera sprite's personality is your choice, so have fun using your own creative ideas.

when this sprite clicked

say [Hello!] for [2] seconds

say [Hello!]

say [] // hide speech bubble

think [Hmm...] for [2] seconds

switch costume to [tera-d v]

wait (1) seconds // 0.5 is half a second

set [color v] effect to [0] // number up to 200

clear graphic effects

play sound [pop v] until done

start sound [pop v]

speak [hello]

You can also 'remix' the project to make any changes you like. You could change the backdrop, and how the sprites emote, and even choose different sprites and give them emotes.

Tip: Click on a sprite in the Sprite list below the Stage to change the code, costumes, and sound for that sprite.
