How?
Help, I'm sorta new and I haven't figured out how to change backgrounds and use sensors. How do you?

Re: How?
Changing backgrounds is easy: next background is a "looks" block for the stage.
Which sensors do you mean? There are couple of blocks in scratch that apply only if you have the Scratchboard. Unfortunately, they are not separated from the rest of the blocks in a clear way---I was confused about them when I started Scratch also.

Re: How?
okay, well if you look in controls, there are blocks that have hexagonal edges.
these fit the sensor blocks w/ hex edges. those report boolean values, or, true or false. you can have it go:
when green flag clicked:
forever if: touching:bad guy
broadcast:died
--------------------------
the others report things with multiple numerical values, such as distance to:???
those fit in the rounded slots.

Re: How?
Can you better explain what you mean by sensor? It's hard to anwser you when you are so vague.

Re: How?
i think mariluz means anything in the sensor category.
when i started, they were the most confusing.

I don't know about that. She may have downloaded my project "Perfect Sprite Movement" and saw that I used "sensor sprites".
I think it would be best to let mariluz explains what she means by sensor.

Re: How?
Sensors are used to let a sprite interact with it's surroundings. For example: the touching__? block let's a sprite respond to the edge of the stage, the mouse pointer, or another sprite.
