Teaching Point:
Today we will learn how to use Show/Hide to change what the user sees.
Show and Hide
Sometimes we do not want every piece of our App on the screen at the same time. That is why we use "Show" and "Hide" in the looks menu. These blocks make our Sprite invisible or visible, depending on what events happen.
One way to use Show and Hide is to set up your app so that when the Green Flag is pressed, the app "Shows" the instructions and "hides" your characters. When the user is ready to play, the Instructions disappear and the characters and setting show.
Today's Assignment
Make a new sprite for your app. This sprite will not be a character. It will be instructions that tell how to make the Sprite move. Then add blocks that say when the green flag is pressed, the instructions show, and everything else hides.
Extension Activity
Make a picture or logo of a title of your game, and have it show with the instructions.
