CatWalkproject Part 1 PDF

1) The document describes how to create a simple Scratch program to make a sprite walk across the screen using motion and control blocks. 2) It then expands on this by having the sprite change direction when it hits the edge of the screen and changing costumes to make it look like it is walking. 3) The program is further developed to make the sprite walk continuously using a forever loop combined with motion, wait, and costume change blocks.
