What does the 'Wait' block do in this code?

  • The wait block makes the racer stop completely
  • The wait block makes the racer slower or faster
  • The wait block makes the racer bigger

  • The racer will not be able to move at all
  • The racer will move in the wrong direction
  • The racer will move too slowly

14. What's the difference between the 'Repeat' and 'Repeat While' block?

  • The 'Repeat While' block repeats a specified number of times, while the 'Repeat' block repeats based on a certain condition
  • The 'Repeat' block repeats a specified number of times, while the 'Repeat While' block repeats based on a certain condition
  • The 'Repeat While' block repeats until the end of the program, while the 'Repeat' block repeats based on a certain condition
  • There is no difference between the 'Repeat' and the 'Repeat While' blocks.

15. What would happen if you changed {"func":"registerTrigger","values":[{"type":"wrapper","func":"valueSensingMouseDown"}],"next":{"func":"blockControlWhile","values":[{"type":"wrapper","func":"valueSensingMouseDown"}],"containers":[{"func":"blockMotionPointTowards","values":[{"type":"string","value":"mouse-pointer"}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionMove","values":[{"type":"number","value":"10"}],"next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":".05"}]}}}]}} to {"func":"registerTrigger","values":[{"type":"wrapper","func":"valueSensingMouseDown"}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionPointTowards","values":[{"type":"string","value":"mouse-pointer"}],"next":{"func":"blockControlWhile","values":[{"type":"wrapper","func":"valueSensingMouseDown"}],"containers":[{"func":"blockMotionMove","values":[{"type":"number","value":"10"}],"next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":".05"}]}}]}}}?

  • The racer would move in the direction of the mouse pointer forever
  • The racer would move in the direction of the mouse pointer while the mouse is held down
  • The racer would move in the direction of the mouse click while the mouse is held down
  • The racer would move in the direction of the mouse click forever

16. What would this code block do? {"func":"registerTrigger","values":[{"type":"wrapper","func":"valueSensingMouseDown"}],"next":{"func":"blockControlForeverIf","values":[{"type":"wrapper","func":"valueSensingMouseDown"}],"containers":[{"func":"blockMotionPointTowards","values":[{"type":"string","value":"mouse-pointer"}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionMove","values":[{"type":"number","value":"-10"}],"next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":".1"}]}}}]}}

  • It would make the Actor move towards the mouse pointer when the mouse is held down.
  • It would make the Actor move away from the mouse pointer when the mouse is held down.
  • It would make the Actor move towards the mouse pointer when the program starts.
  • It would make the Actor move away from the mouse pointer when the program starts.

17. True or false: Colors can be represented by using sequences like #000000.

  • True
  • False

18. What would this code block do? {"func":"registerFlagTrigger","next":{"func":"blockControlForever","containers":[{"func":"blockMotionPointTowards","values":[{"type":"string","value":"mouse-pointer"}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionMove","values":[{"type":"number","value":"10"}],"next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":".01"}]}}}]}}

  • The racer would move twice as fast
  • The racer would move twice as slow
  • The racer would move too fast to see
  • The racer would not be able to move

21. {"func":"registerTrigger","values":[{"type":"wrapper","func":"valueSensingMouseDown"}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionPointTowards","values":[{"type":"string","value":"mouse-pointer"}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionMove","values":[{"type":"number","value":"10"}],"next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":".05"}]}}}}

  • Add a {"func":"blockControlRepeat","values":[{"type":"number","value":"10"}],"containers":[null]} block
  • Remove the 'Wait' block
  • Increase the distance in the 'Move' block by 10

Key stage 2
Pupils should be taught to:
  • design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts
  • use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs; work with variables and various forms of input and output
  • use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs
