This is the stage. This is where all the action will happen. This is the sprite. Sprites are the actors in your program. You can change how they look and what costumes they wear.

You will drag the instructions here to tell your sprite what to do. You can assign commands/instructions to different items in your program. You select them here.
You can add new sprites, edit your sprites and get a surprise sprite here. This area is all to do with the sprites. This is where you will select your sprite and tell it what to do.
