Re: what do the variables do?

They record values.  Say you make a variable called "score."  If, for example, you're making a soccer game, if the ball senses it's in the net it can change the Score variable by one and keep track of how many times you scored.

Variables are probably the most useful component to Scratch once you get the hang of them.
