Use "Pen" Blocks

Now that you have learnt the basic programming operations in the previous sections, let's try a faster way for Scratch programming.

Use "Pen" Blocks to Paint a Heart

(1) Three Pen blocks are required in painting a heart. They are set pen color to ( ), pen down, and pen up. We can drag all these three blocks to the Scripts area first.

(2) Set the coordinates for pen down. In this script, let's set them to (0,40).

(3) Set the motion path of the sprite, enabling it to paint the pattern we want.

(4) Set the sprite to move away after pen up to show the entire pattern.
