1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,580

2
00:00:00,580 --> 00:00:02,810
>> DAVID MALAN: So this program's in pretty
good shape, but wouldn't it

3
00:00:02,810 --> 00:00:05,970
have been nice if there were a cough
puzzle piece that we could have used

4
00:00:05,970 --> 00:00:07,210
right out of the box?

5
00:00:07,210 --> 00:00:09,710
Well, we can actually create
that the piece ourselves.

6
00:00:09,710 --> 00:00:13,950
Let's go to the More Blocks palette,
click Make A Block, give this new

7
00:00:13,950 --> 00:00:16,560
block a name of Cough, and click OK.

8
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,580
And notice that Scratch has now provided
us with the starting point

9
00:00:19,580 --> 00:00:22,470
via which we can make our
own new puzzle piece.

10
00:00:22,470 --> 00:00:24,610
>> Now, what does it mean
to define a cough?

11
00:00:24,610 --> 00:00:28,250
Well, let's go ahead and steal some of
the pieces we used earlier, dragging

12
00:00:28,250 --> 00:00:31,380
and dropping them down to this
new-defined Cough block.

13
00:00:31,380 --> 00:00:35,030
And now let's go up to the top left
here, where we see a new puzzle piece

14
00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:39,490
that Scratch has called what I asked,
Cough, drag it inside of that loop,

15
00:00:39,490 --> 00:00:41,810
and now click the green flag.

16
00:00:41,810 --> 00:00:45,910
Cough, cough, cough.

17
00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:50,010
>> Exactly as before, but now look how
much more readable my program is.

18
00:00:50,010 --> 00:00:53,820
When the green flag is clicked, repeat
the following three times--

19
00:00:53,820 --> 00:00:54,610
cough.

20
00:00:54,610 --> 00:00:55,860
And that's it.

21
00:00:55,860 --> 00:00:56,620
