Variables

Scratch Variables Video

Alert! Technical term. Variables that I am sure you have seen before can seem a little daunting, vague, or both. Variables are nothing more than names that can hold values. We may want to create a variable so that we can keep track of our score when we collide with something or a timer variable. Variables can serve many different purposes.

Can you create a variable? What did you name it? Remember to give it a good name. Something that accurately describes the variable. Determine if all sprites see it or just one. Does the variable show up on your screen?
