Scratch 2050

The stage is where you see your stories, games, and animations come to life. Sprites move and interact with one another on the stage. The stage is 480 units wide and 360 units tall. It is divided into an x-y grid. 

The screen is divided into X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) coordinates based on the centre of the stage which is at x-y coordinate (0, 0) and the numbers being positive or negative depending on their position.

This means the lower left is at (-240, -180), the upper left is at (-240, 180), the upper right is at (240, 180), and the lower right at (240, -180). To find out x-y positions on the stage, move the cursor around and look at the x-y display just below the stage on the right (Figure 56).
