Module 7: Quiz

1. Which two code blocks do the same thing? (Choose 2.)

  • {"func":"blockMotionPointDirection","values":[{"type":"string","value":"0"}]}
  • {"func":"blockMotionPointDirection","values":[{"type":"string","value":"90"}]}
  • {"func":"blockMotionPointDirection","values":[{"type":"string","value":"180"}]}
  • {"func":"blockMotionPointDirection","values":[{"type":"string","value":"360"}]}

2. What does this block do to an Actor? {"func":"blockMotionGoTo","values":[{"type":"number","value":""},{"type":"number","value":""}]}

  • It will point the Actor in the direction of the given x and y positions
  • It will make the Actor draw a line from where it is to the given x and y position
  • It will move the Actor to the given x and y positions
  • It will hide the Actor

3. What would this code block draw? {"func":"blockPenDown","next":{"func":"blockMotionGoTo","values":[{"type":"number","value":"0"},{"type":"number","value":"0"}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionGoTo","values":[{"type":"number","value":"-100"},{"type":"number","value":"-200"}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionGoTo","values":[{"type":"number","value":"-100"},{"type":"number","value":"200"}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionGoTo","values":[{"type":"number","value":"0"},{"type":"number","value":"0"}]}}}}}

  • A triangle
  • A square
  • A rectangle
  • A circle

4. What is the difference between {"func":"blockMotionGoTo","values":[{"type":"number","value":""},{"type":"number","value":""}]} and {"func":"blockMotionMove","values":[{"type":"number","value":""}]} ?

  • The 'Go To' block will move the Actor towards the direction it is pointing toward, while the 'Move' block will place the Actor at that given position
  • The 'Go To' block will move the Actor as it draws a line, while the 'Move' block will only move the Actor
  • The 'Go To' block only works if you place it on the Stage, while the 'Move' block can work for Actors
  • The 'Go To' block will place the Actor at that given position, while the 'Move' block will move the Actor towards the direction it is pointing toward

5. What would happen if you removed the wait blocks from this code block? {"func":"registerBroadcastTrigger","values":[{"type":"string","value":"draw"}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionGoTo","values":[{"type":"number","value":"-100"},{"type":"number","value":"100"}],"next":{"func":"blockPenDown","next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":"0.5"}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionPointDirection","values":[{"type":"string","value":"90"}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionGoTo","values":[{"type":"number","value":"100"},{"type":"number","value":"100"}],"next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":"0.5"}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionPointDirection","values":[{"type":"string","value":180}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionGoTo","values":[{"type":"number","value":"100"},{"type":"number","value":"-100"}],"next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":"0.5"}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionPointDirection","values":[{"type":"string","value":-90}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionGoTo","values":[{"type":"number","value":"-100"},{"type":"number","value":"-100"}],"next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":"0.5"}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionPointDirection","values":[{"type":"string","value":0}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionGoTo","values":[{"type":"number","value":"-100"},{"type":"number","value":"100"}]}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

  • The racer would draw the square instantly
  • The racer would draw the square at its normal speed
  • The racer would draw the square more slowly
  • The racer would not draw the square

6.

  • The racer will move to x coordinate 100 and y coordinate -200
  • The racer will move to x coordinate -100 and y coordinate -200
