Scratch: Intro

There are many options under the scripts tab. First, all the blocks are divided into categories. There are 10 categories, and there are varying amounts of coding options within each category:

• motion - 18
• looks - 19
• sound - 13
• pen - 11
• data - 2
• events - 8
• control - 11
• sensing - 18
• operators - 17
• more blocks - 2

Another tab in scratch is "costumes". Here, one also has a wide variety of coding options to choose from. There are small icons to choose a costume from the library, which contains over 600 options, to paint a new costume, to upload a costume from a file, and to capture a new costume from the camera. There are also options to undo and redo, as well as to clear, add, and import. There are also 13 other small buttons on the right side of the screen for other controls such as a pencil and paint bucket. There are also buttons to control zoom and color on the bottom of the screen. 

"Sounds" is the third tab. There are fewer options in this tab. There are three options for dealing with "new sound": choose sound from library, which houses over a hundred options, record new sound, and upload sound from a file.
