    1 - How to animate a sprite

    Sprites have costumes which are different looks that you can make them have.

    If you click on the Costumes tab you will see all the costumes that a sprite has and you can add to and edit these if you wish. 

    To make the sprite "cycle" through it's costumes you could use the following code.

    when green flag clicked forever next costume wait (0.5) seconds end

    Or to choose a specific costume you would use this block.

    when green flag clicked switch costume to (bat-c v)

    Open a new project in Scratch, add a sprite with costumes and try animating the sprite using code.
