Broadcasting activity 1 ⭐
Let us do the activity below to practice broadcasting.
· Step1: Choose two sprites of ladies. Give them both a name, for example Anne and Abby.
· Step2: Prepare the following settings: Anne is walking on the beach and she saw Abby. She called her “Abby”. Abby waited for 3 seconds and replied, “Yes Anne, talk to me”.
· Step3: Click on Anne sprite and write down the instructions below.
Figure 123: Calling Abby
● Step 4: Then click on Abby sprite and write down the following instructions:
Figure 124: Abby responding and Anne giving instructions
When
the green flag is clicked, the following will happen:
- Anne calls Abby. After 5
seconds Anne sends a message “Come here!”
- Abby is hidden but when she receives the message from Anne calling her, she shows up and says: “Yes Anne, talk to me!”
This example shows us how two sprites can talk to each other. With broadcast blocks, we can create a story with more than one sprite.
