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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:03.870 --> 00:01:08.729
together. When I press "run" again, the bird
will perform the commands that are stacked

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

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

00:01:18.460 --> 00:01:22.539
reset button to get the bird back to the start.
Now let's get those pigs!
