The “List” function allows you to
create and manipulate lists of data.
mBlock LIST
GIVE THE SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS OF mBlock LIST
1) Integration with hardware
2) Save and Load Projects
What doees Integration with hardware mean?
You can use it to control physical devices like lights or sensors
Examples of Integration with hardware, hardware part
arduino and microcontroller?
What specific function of mBlock list:
* saving scripts and codes
* loading them for future edits or
execution.
Save and Load Projects
In mBlock, palettes are categorized sets of blocks that help users program the projects more intuitively.
BLOCKS PALETTE
Blocks in mBlock can control various actions such as __, ___, or ___
moving sprites, playing sounds, of changing volumes
BLOCKS PALLETE makes coding __ by __ what each action will do.
intuative, visualy representing
detects events or input blocks:
Looks- APPEARANCE
(magenta)
Show- VISIBILITY
(purple)
Action- MOVEMENT or MOBILITY (mid blue)
Sensing- DETECTION
(cyan)
blocks for logic and math:
Events(yellow)
Control(mid orange)
Operators(green)
Variables(orange)
My Blocks(pale red)
It is where you create and manage the behavior of your project.
SCRIPTS TAB
What is Programming Logic?
Drag and drop blocks from different palettes to create sequences of actions.
SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS OF SCRIPTS TAB:
1) Programming Logic
2) Visual Representation
3) Debugging
Use visual feedback and testing
within the Script tab to identity
and fix errors in your code.
