Now I can modify my script so that my dinosaur always faces the same direction he is moving. I will do<br />
this using the switch <strong>to</strong> costume block from the looks menu. The looks menu (purple blocks) contains<br />
actions that let us control how the appearance of our sprite changes during a program.<br />
Changing Your Sprite’s Looks<br />
To change the costume of our sprite, we used a block from the looks menu. The looks menu contains<br />
blocks that change things like the color <strong>and</strong> size of your sprite.<br />
Try out different looks blocks <strong>and</strong> see<br />
what happens. This simple example<br />
shows a change color effect block. Now<br />
the dinosaur will cycle through color<br />
changes every second.<br />
Now, when the right arrow is pressed, our sprite<br />
will face <strong>to</strong> the right <strong>and</strong> move <strong>to</strong> the right<br />
When the left arrow is pressed, the sprite will face<br />
<strong>to</strong> the left <strong>and</strong> move <strong>to</strong> the left.<br />
The looks blocks are the dark purple blocks.<br />
