Grid lines
Hi there
I'm new to Scratch and starting to work my way through the video tutorials
I'm a bit puzzled with the video Scratch 2 - Unit 1 - Lesson 1.
The background is shown as grid lines and I can't seem to find a way to set it as such?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
Tony

Re: Grid lines
Hehe, believe it or not, I'm having trouble finding that tutorial, so I have no idea what you might be referring to.
However, I do know that SCRATCH has a set of sample background images one can use, and one of them looks similar to grid lines (an image having an x and y axis, the point of origin in the absolute center). Click on the stage button, and hit the costumes tab. Click on the costume and the editor should open (if not, just hit the edit button).Then click import; SCRATCH should automatically open the browsing window to the backgrounds folder (if not, just search), and look for the grid image I was talking about earlier. And now, the overall background of the SCRATCH program has a grid for a background.
If I'm completely missing the point, could you provide a link to the video?

Re: Grid lines
The scratch program comes installed with images. One of those images is a grid. Just go to import and find the grid.

Click the background, then import background. It is the first thing you see.

The XY grid isn't in the four folders, it should be the image already shown after the four folders (that's assuming SCRATCH has automatically defaulted to open the Backgrounds folder).

Isn't that what I said?

Nope. Just four folders. Nothing else.

O.o, really? Just four folders, no four folders and a white grid? Maybe you had it deleted by accident or had it moved at some point. Try checking those four subfolders, maybe it was moved there. If still can't be found, then perhaps someone here can lend a hand and provide a URL to a project with the grid?
