Hi.
I'm new to programming and Scratch.
I notice that the Sprites are on different pages, like two separate programs.
How can I have two or more Sprites in one Script Window instead of two, so I will have one big program on one page?
I'm confused. Any help appreciated.
Thank you! :0)

I don't quite understand what you are asking. Are you asking how to get all of your sprites to show at the same time?

Hi.
I see that each Sprite has it's own script page.
This confuses me, since I am so new to programming and I have difficulty understanding how all these elements interact at once.
I thought it would be easier to have all my "code" on one single page so I don't have to jump back and forth between script pages.
How are all these Sprites called within the program? Guess it's like a three ring circus.
Is there a Study Guide for Scratch? From the very basics to intermediate?
Thank you. :0)

Here is the getting started guide for Scratch.
There isn't a study guide for Scratch, but you could download project from all skill ranges and study the script.

Each of the different sprites needs it's own script page because the script will only apply to that certain sprite. For your information, the background can also hold scripts like a sprites. But the background it static, and is mainly used as a control tower, or just to hold graphics. There are also things called broadcasts to help the sprites interact with each other, not to mention a "touching [Sprite Name]" sensor block which you can pair up with the If block.
Keep an eye on the shapes of different blocks as they are like puzzle pieces. There are hexagonal ones that don't fit into the places of rounded ones, and there are ones that end (Forever Block) and you cannot place blocks after it. You can also use a variable as a number value or variable. Also, you can use x or y coordiantes as variables too.
