Graphic effects in Scratch

Scratch's powerful graphic effects functions can be harnessed to create all kinds of fun visuals that can dramatically change the look of your sprites without the need to create new costumes. In this short Scratch Hacks tutorial, Mr. T demonstrates how to use graphic effects to fade in and out, swap colors and even create realistic lightning effects. You'll find some of the Scratch files we used to put together this video in this studio: https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/32681076 Created by Atomec Studios and narrated by veteran tech educator Andrew Tomec, SCRATCH HACKS is a new series of quick and simple Scratch coding tutorials aimed at beginner- to intermediate-level coders. Scratch Hacks aim to take the fear factor out of coding with byte-sized video tutorials that offer tips and advice on the most common questions and problems that arise when youngsters first take up coding in Scratch. In his work as a Canadian elementary school teacher, Mr. T has taught hundreds of introductory coding classes to children from kindergarten up. "I was struck by how often the same simple questions arise in every class I teach. Learning to code is like learning any other language, and these compact lessons will help give learners the vocabulary they need to express themselves in the digital world." #scratch #coding #tutorial #graphiceffects
