Music

How do I play an instrument?

Check out all of the sound code blocks to see different instruments you can use. For example, you can use the {"func":"blockSoundPlayDrum"} or the {"func":"blockSoundSetInstrument"} blocks.

Sample Code:


                {"func":"registerFlagTrigger","values":[],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockSoundPlayDrum","values":[{"type":"choice","value":"37 Side Stick"},{"type":"number","value":"5"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockSoundSetInstrument","values":[{"type":"choice","value":"3 Electric Grand Piano"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockSoundPlayNote","values":[{"type":"number","value":"60"},{"type":"number","value":"0.5"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockSoundPlayNote","values":[{"type":"number","value":"65"},{"type":"number","value":"0.5"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockSoundPlayNote","values":[{"type":"number","value":"70"},{"type":"number","value":"0.5"}],"containers":[]}}}}}}
                Add to my Backpack

Sample Projects: Music maker

How do I add a soundtrack to my project?

Click on the Sounds tab in one of your Actor’s code. Then click on Add Sound to browse the Media Library.

How can you play a music file when you click an Actor?

Attach the {"func":"blockSoundPlay"} below the {"func":"registerSpriteTrigger"} block and select a sound. If there are no options to choose from, go add some sounds in the sounds tab!

Sample Code:


                {"func":"registerSpriteTrigger","values":[],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockSoundPlay","values":[{"type":"string","value":"bounce"}],"containers":[]}}
                Add to my Backpack

Sample Projects: Rock Band, Evil Alien Planet

How can you keep playing a music file continuously?

Add a {"func":"blockSoundPlayUntilDone"} block in the Stage’s code under the {"func":"registerFlagTrigger"} block. If you want it to play forever, put it inside a forever loop.

Sample Code:


                {"func":"registerFlagTrigger","values":[],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockControlForever","values":[],"containers":[{"func":"blockSoundPlayUntilDone","values":[{"type":"string","value":"Bedtime"}],"containers":[]}]}}

Drawing

Draw with an Actor?

You can use an Actor to lead the pen around the Stage by having the pen draw the Actor’s path. Just use the {"func":"blockPenDown"} block in the Actor’s code and control the Actor with movement code.

Sample Code:


                {"func":"registerFlagTrigger","values":[],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockPenDown","values":[],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockPenClear","values":[],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":"1"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockPenDrawRectangle","values":[{"type":"number","value":"10"},{"type":"number","value":"10"},{"type":"number","value":"10"},{"type":"number","value":"25"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":"1"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockPenDrawTriangle","values":[{"type":"number","value":"-50"},{"type":"number","value":"-50"},{"type":"number","value":"-45"},{"type":"number","value":"-45"},{"type":"number","value":"-50"},{"type":"number","value":"-45"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":"1"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockPenDrawEllipse","values":[{"type":"number","value":"50"},{"type":"number","value":"50"},{"type":"number","value":"10"},{"type":"number","value":"10"}],"containers":[]}}}}}}}}}

How do I change something’s color?

If you want to change an Actor’s color, you should add a Costume and change the Costume. However, if you want to change the pen’s color, remember that colors are represented by numbers in programming. Choose an initial color on the visual spectrum and then add or subtract from that number with the {"func":"blockPenChangeHue"} code block.

Sample Code:


                {"func":"registerFlagTrigger","values":[],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockLooksShow","values":[],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockPenDown","values":[],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockControlForever","values":[],"containers":[{"func":"blockMotionMove","values":[{"type":"number","value":"10"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockPenChangeHue","values":[{"type":"number","value":"10"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockMotionBounceOnEdge","values":[],"containers":[]}}}]}}}}

How do I make the pen thicker?

Use the {"func":"blockPenChangeSize"} block to make the pen appear thicker.

Sample Code:


                {"func":"registerFlagTrigger","values":[],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockLooksShow","values":[],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockPenDown","values":[],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockPenChangeSize","values":[{"type":"number","value":"5"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockControlForever","values":[],"containers":[{"func":"blockMotionMove","values":[{"type":"number","value":"10"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockMotionBounceOnEdge","values":[],"containers":[]}}]}}}}}

How do I draw shapes?

The pen section has a lot of code blocks for drawing shapes at a particular x and y value with a certain width/height.

Sample Code:


                {"func":"registerFlagTrigger","values":[],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockPenDown","values":[],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockPenClear","values":[],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":"1"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockPenDrawRectangle","values":[{"type":"number","value":"10"},{"type":"number","value":"10"},{"type":"number","value":"10"},{"type":"number","value":"25"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":"1"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockPenDrawTriangle","values":[{"type":"number","value":"-50"},{"type":"number","value":"-50"},{"type":"number","value":"-45"},{"type":"number","value":"-45"},{"type":"number","value":"-50"},{"type":"number","value":"-45"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":"1"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockPenDrawEllipse","values":[{"type":"number","value":"50"},{"type":"number","value":"50"},{"type":"number","value":"10"},{"type":"number","value":"10"}],"containers":[]}}}}}}}}}

What kinds of visual effects can I apply?

The {"func":"blockLooksChangeEffect"} block has a bunch of effects for you to use. For example, you can use ghost, brightness, color, fisheye, whirl, pixelate, and mosaic effects.

Sample Code:


                {"func":"registerFlagTrigger","values":[],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockLooksSetEffect","values":[{"type":"choice","value":"pixelate"},{"type":"number","value":"10"}],"containers":[]}}

How do I print words on the Stage?

Writing text can involve a lot of code blocks. You can use the {"func":"blockPenDrawText"} code block and specify a location to draw the text. Sometimes, you’ll have two strings of text, in which case you need to join them with the {"func":"valueOpJoin"} block.

Sample Code:


                {"func":"registerFlagTrigger","values":[],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockPenClear","values":[],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockPenSetFont","values":[{"type":"choice","value":"normal"},{"type":"choice","value":"24"},{"type":"choice","value":"Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"}],"containers":[],"next":{"func":"blockPenDrawTextAt","values":[{"type":"wrapper","func":"valueOpJoin","values":[{"type":"string","value":"hello "},{"type":"string","value":"world!"}]},{"type":"number","value":"-50"},{"type":"number","value":"0"}],"containers":[]}}}}
