Scratch Code Variables & Repeats

This document discusses using variables to control sounds and animations in Scratch. It provides instructions on creating variables to control how many times a sprite repeats its sound and animation, as well as a variable to control the volume. The document explains setting initial variable values, using variables within repeat blocks to control repetition, and multiplying a variable by a value to adjust relative volume levels.

Variables:
Variables store and count data (information). There are many

ways to use variables; we are going to use them to control the

volume and how many times our sprites repeat their sound.

Call the variable

Repeat and select


Click on the Data

library and select

block will appear.
Code:
We need to set the variable Repeat

to a value when our program is run.

From the Data library dray across

a set [repeat] to (0) block and

add it to our sequence.

The blocks is grey should already


be in your sequence.

Change the value to read

set [repeat] to (1).

Now we want to control how many times

our sprite repeats its sound.

From the control library drag across a

repeat (10) and add it to below the

when sprite clicked block.

We want to be able to change the amount

our repeat happens, so from the Data

library drag across a (Repeat) block and

insert it into where the (10) appears on the

repeat block
Code:
The variable will appear a the top of the screen.

Double click (click twice) and it will change to just a

number. Double click again and it will appear as a slider.

Move the variable underneath the sprite

Now lets make a volume control. On the Stage click the Data library

and select Make a Variable. Call it Volume.

Double click the volume variable

until it appears as a slider

then move it to the

middle of the screen.


Code:
Again we need to set a starting

value for our variable. From the

Data library drag across a

set [Volume] to (0) and change

the value to be (25).

This should be placed just under

the when clicked

From the sound library drag

across a set sound to (100) %

100  and add it above the play sound

in the forever loop.

We want the volume to change to

whatever the value of our variable

is. From the Data library drag

across a (volume) block and add it

into the set volume block.

Run your program and adjust the variable Volume

to see if our code is working.


Code:
We want our sprites to be louder than the background

music. To do this we can use that same variable.

From the sounds library drag

across a set volume to (100)%

and insert it below the

when this sprite clicked block.

From the Operators library drag

across a ( ) * ( ) block.

In computers * means times (x).

So this block will let us take a

value and times (x) it by another.

From the Data library drag across the

variable (Volume) and insert it into the

first space (field) then in the second

space (field) type the value 2.. This

will make our sounds twice as loud as

the background sounds.
