Scratch

To answer your question about variables, variables are strings of text that you can set to whatever you want.  You can set variables with the set [] to [] block.  You can drag and drop variables into () and [] slots.  () denotes a slot meant for numbers only, while [] can be anything.  A piece of text put into a () slot will act as if you had typed in 0.   ()+(), ()-(), ()= (), and other arithmetical and logic booleans (true/false) do what you would think (subtract to numbers, see if two numbers are equal, etc.).  Hope that helps!

the broadcast does send a message.it goes to every sprite.the viewer can't see this message.the [blocks]  <when I receive[ [/blocks] block is like the [blocks]<when green flag clicked>[/blocks]only instead of the green flag,it's a broadcast.you can even change the broadcast by clicking on the triangle.when you do this,a box will come up.on the bottom is the wordnew.click that to make a new broadcast.
    variables are like scores.to make a variable,press make a variable.a window will come up.type in what you want it to be called.then click OK.on the screen will be an oval with the variable name.if you right click on it,a window will pop up.*normal read*is what it already looks like.large readout makes it bigger without the name.slider makes it turn into a slider

hope this helped!
