In this codelab, you'll make a cool band.

What you'll learn

• Use sound blocks.
• Use conditional (if) blocks to check if the sprite is touching certain colors and instruments.

Open the starter project and click Remix.

Paint your background with a few different colors. Each color will play a different note. There are lots of good ways to do this, here are a few simple examples:

The microphone should follow your mouse around the screen so you can play the instruments

Steps

1. Have the microphone go to the mouse pointer
   
   
2. It should repeat this forever, starting when the flag is clicked
   
   
   

Now the microphone should check if it is touching each color, and play a different note for each color.

Be sure this check is in the forever loop.

Do this for as many colors and notes as you'd like!

You can add some drum sprites that will play drum beats when the microphone touches them.

Do this for as many other types of drums as you'd like!

1. Scratch lets you change the instrument that plays the notes. Use this to add instruments to your band.
2. Add more colors and sounds
3. Add a drum beat that goes the whole time
4. Think of your own improvement!
