5. Once you are in the program and ready to begin you may do it 2 ways.
1. Watch my video and follow along as I show you each step.
Beginners do it this way so I can explain it so you understand.
2. Use the printed pages to put the code in on your own and figure the rest out.
Experienced users can do it this way, but if your game does not work, you will need to watch the video too.

3. Scratch is designed so that others can use your game and alter them how they would like to. This is part of the agreement you make when signing up to use the program.
All they ask is that you "Observe intellectual property rights" which simply means, give the person who created it credit and don't try to claim it as your own creation.
Today you will take one of your peers games and modify it how you would like it to be. You will give them credit for being the original creator of that game and anyone else who has made modifications to the game that you used.
