Usually programming is all in text but we'll
use Blockly which uses visual blocks that

2
00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:10,120
you drag and drop to write programs. Under
the hood, you're still creating code. To start

3
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:14,210
off, we're going to build code for a program
that will help this Angry Bird move through

4
00:00:14,210 --> 00:00:19,460
a maze to get to the evil pigs that stole
its eggs. Blockly is split into three main

5
00:00:19,460 --> 00:00:24,740
parts. On the left is the bird's maze, where
your program will run. The instructions for

6
00:00:24,740 --> 00:00:30,810
each level are written below the maze. This
middle area is the toolbox and each of these

7
00:00:30,810 --> 00:00:35,670
blocks is a command that the bird can understand.
The white space on the right is called the

8
00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:41,649
workspace and this is where we'll build our
program. If I drag the move block to our work

9
00:00:41,649 --> 00:00:47,870
space and press "run", what happens? The bird
moves forward one box on the grid. And what

10
00:00:47,870 --> 00:00:52,909
if I want the bird to do something after it
moves forward one box? I can add another block

11
00:00:52,909 --> 00:00:57,839
to our program. I'm going to choose the "turn
right" block and I'll drag it under my move

12
00:00:57,839 --> 00:01:03,870
block until the yellow arrow appears. Then
I'll drop it and the two blocks will snap

13
00:01:03,870 --> 00:01:08,729
together. When I press "run" again, the bird
will perform the commands that are stacked

14
00:01:08,729 --> 00:01:13,320
from top to bottom on our work space. If you
ever want to delete a block, just remove it

15
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:18,460
from the stack and drag it to the trash can.
After you've hit run, you can always hit the

16
00:01:18,460 --> 00:01:22,539
reset button to get the bird back to the start.
Now let's get those pigs!
