Toolbox:

This middle area is the toolbox and each of these blocks is a

command that directs the player’s actions.

Workspace

The white space on the right is called the workspace
and this is where we’ll build our program.

moveForward( ) Block

If we drag the moveForward(); block to our workspace and then click run, what
happens? Alex moves forward one space on the grid.

And what if we want to do something after she has moved forward one space? We can
add another block to our program. I’m going to choose the turnRight(); block and I’ll drag

it underneath my moveForward(); block until this orange line appears. Then I’ll drop it
and the two blocks will snap together. When we press run again, Alex will perform the

commands that are stacked from top to bottom in our workspace.
