<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-1-1">
<p>
Scratch programming is heavily based on Object-Oriented scripts. Scripts can be attached to the stage (which can have one Backdrop on top at a time) and Sprites.
</p>
<p>
Suppose we add the following two sprites: Butterfly1 and Dog2.
</p>
<p>
Scripts can be attached to Butterfly1 or can be attached to Dog2. If you want to attach the same script, you can Duplicate it and drag it to the Dog2.
</p>
<p>
There are different Script categories. A script on a Sprite can move the sprite around, for example.
</p>
<p>
Watch out: you can't control multiple Sprites from one place. Don't think you can play "puppetmaster" and just make an animation by telling everything what to do in order, as you might with Python or JavaScript.
</p>
<p>
Instead, you'll have to use the "broadcast" and "when I receive" blocks to have Sprites hand off control to one another as they take turns.
</p>
<p>
(This weird actor model comes from Scratch's origins as a Small talk application.)
