Module 6: Add Music

Open Sample Project

Module 7: Quiz

1. True or False: Sounds can be added to both Actors and the Stage.

  • True
  • False

2. True or False: Background music is added differently from sounds.

  • True
  • False

3. Which of the following blocks is used to play background music?

  • {"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":""}]}
  • {"func":"blockSoundPlayUntilDone","values":[{"type":"string","value":""}]}
  • {"func":"blockLooksNextCostume"}
  • {"func":"blockLooksSwitchCostume","values":[{"type":"string","value":""}]}

4. True or False: An Actor can only contain code for one sound at a time.

  • True
  • False

5. Which two blocks can be used to change the appearance of an Actor? (Choose 2)

  • {"func":"blockLooksSwitchCostume","values":[{"type":"string","value":""}]}
  • {"func":"blockSoundPlay","values":[{"type":"string","value":""}]}
  • {"func":"blockControlForever","containers":[null]}
  • {"func":"blockLooksNextCostume"}

6. Which code block should be added to the following code to make it look like the button is being pressed repeatedly until the end of the program?
{"func":"registerFlagTrigger","next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":".5"}],"next":{"func":"blockLooksNextCostume","next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":".5"}],"next":{"func":"blockLooksSwitchCostume","values":[{"type":"string","value":"blue button off"}]}}}}}

  • {"func":"blockControlForever","containers":[null]}
  • {"func":"blockControlRepeat","values":[{"type":"number","value":""}],"containers":[null]}
  • {"func":"blockLooksNextCostume"}
  • {"func":"blockLooksSwitchCostume","values":[{"type":"string","value":""}]}

7. True or False: If an Actor with the following code only had two costumes, we would be able to replace the {"func":"blockLooksSwitchCostume","values":[{"type":"string","value":""}]} block with the {"func":"blockLooksNextCostume"} block.
{"func":"registerKeyTrigger","values":[{"type":"choice","value":"space"}],"next":{"func":"blockLooksNextCostume","next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":".5"}],"next":{"func":"blockLooksSwitchCostume","values":[{"type":"string","value":"blue button off"}]}}}}

  • True
  • False

8. What will happen if we remove the 'Forever' block from this code?
{"func":"registerFlagTrigger","next":{"func":"blockControlForever","containers":[{"func":"blockSoundPlayUntilDone","values":[{"type":"string","value":"Easy Rider - bass"}]}]}}

  • The background music will play repeatedly until the program is stopped
  • The background music will only play once at the start of the program
  • The background music will not play
  • The background music will play if you click on the Actor

9. What key needs to be pressed to trigger the following code?
{"func":"registerKeyTrigger","values":[{"type":"choice","value":"left arrow"}],"next":{"func":"blockLooksNextCostume","next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":".5"}],"next":{"func":"blockLooksSwitchCostume","values":[{"type":"string","value":"blue button off"}]}}}}

  • The left arrow
  • The space bar
  • The right arrow
  • The return key

10. What will happen if we remove the 'Wait' block from the following code?
{"func":"registerKeyTrigger","values":[{"type":"choice","value":"left arrow"}],"next":{"func":"blockLooksNextCostume","next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":".5"}],"next":{"func":"blockLooksSwitchCostume","values":[{"type":"string","value":"blue button off"}]}}}}

  • The button will change costumes more slowly than before
  • The button will change costumes too fast to see
  • The button will not change costumes
  • The button will turn on and off twice

11. Which block is needed to switch to a specific costume?

  • {"func":"blockLooksSwitchCostume","values":[{"type":"string","value":""}]}
  • {"func":"blockLooksNextCostume"}
  • {"func":"blockSoundPlay","values":[{"type":"string","value":""}]}
  • {"func":"registerFlagTrigger"}

12. True or False: An Actor can have more than one costume.

  • True
  • False

13. True or False: An Actor cannot use the {"func":"blockLooksNextCostume"} block if it only has one costume.

  • True
  • False

14. What does the following code do?
{"func":"registerKeyTrigger","values":[{"type":"choice","value":"space"}],"next":{"func":"blockSoundPlayUntilDone","values":[{"type":"string","value":"Easy Rider - bass"}]}}

  • Plays the background music once when space is pressed
  • Plays the background music forever when space is pressed
  • Plays the background music forever when the program starts
  • Plays the background music once when the program starts

15. How long does a 'Forever' block run?

  • A 'Forever' loop runs the code blocks inside it once
  • A 'Forever' loop repeats the code blocks inside it 10 times
  • A 'Forever' loop repeats the code blocks inside it over and over until the program ends
  • A 'Forever' loop repeats the code blocks inside it over and over even after the program ends

16. Which of the following code blocks is considered a loop?

  • {"func":"blockSoundPlay","values":[{"type":"string","value":""}]}
  • {"func":"blockControlForever","containers":[null]}
  • {"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":"1"}]}
  • {"func":"blockLooksSwitchCostume","values":[{"type":"string","value":""}]}

17. Where can the code block for background music be placed?

  • Only in the code for the Stage
  • Only in the code for an Actor
  • Either in the code for an Actor or in the code for the Stage
  • You do not need a code block to play background music in your program

18. What is the difference between the {"func":"blockLooksNextCostume"} and {"func":"blockSoundPlay","values":[{"type":"string","value":""}]} blocks?

  • The {"func":"blockLooksNextCostume"} block can be used to play music, while the {"func":"blockSoundPlay","values":[{"type":"string","value":""}]} block can be used to change the appearance of the Actor
  • The {"func":"blockLooksNextCostume"} block can be used to change the appearance of the Actor, while the {"func":"blockSoundPlay","values":[{"type":"string","value":""}]} block can be used to play music
  • Both of them are used to change the appearance of the Actor
  • Both of them can be used to play sounds

19. What costume will the button display after running the following code?
{"func":"blockLooksSwitchCostume","values":[{"type":"string","value":"blue button on"}],"next":{"func":"blockLooksSwitchCostume","values":[{"type":"string","value":"blue button off"}]}}

  • The button will be displaying the "blue button on" costume
  • The button will be displaying the "blue button off" costume
  • The button will be hidden
  • The button will display both costumes at the same time
