Add another 2 sprites to your stage; a singer and a microphone.

Before you can make your singer sing, you need to add a sound to your sprite. Make sure that you have selected your singer, then click the ‘Sounds’ tab, and click ‘Choose sound from library’:

If you click ‘Vocals’ on the left hand side, you will then be able to choose a suitable sound to add to your sprite.

Now that the sound has been added, you can add this code to your singer:

    when this sprite clicked
    play sound [singer1 v] until done

Click on your singer, to make sure that she sings when clicked.

To draw your own cymbal sprite, click on the ‘Paint new sprite’ icon.

As you can see, you now have a blank sprite called ‘Sprite1’. Draw your cymbal in ‘costume1’, using a yellow ellipse and some black lines. You should also rename this costume ‘not hit’, just like with your other sprites.

Duplicate your cymbal sprite to create a second costume, and remember to name it ‘hit’.

To make your cymbal look like it’s been hit, you can rotate it. To do this, click the ‘Select’ tool and drag to highlight the cymbal. You can then click and drag the circular ‘rotate’ handle to rotate the cymbal.

Your cymbal costumes should look something like this:

Your cymbal is probably a bit too big. Click the ‘Shrink’ icon, and you should notice that the mouse cursor changes. Click on your cymbal a few times to shrink it. You can also move your cymbal to a better place on the stage.

Next, you should change the name of the sprite, as ‘sprite1’ isn’t a very helpful name! Click the icon for your cymbal sprite, and then click on the blue i (information) icon in the top-left.

You can then change the sprite name to something more useful, like ‘Cymbal’!

Now that you have your graphics made, you can add in a sound to the cymbal sprite. Click ‘Choose sound from library’, and then click ‘Percussion’ and choose the ‘cymbal crash’ sound.

Add this code to the cymbal, so that it makes a sound and changes costume when clicked:

    when flag clicked
    switch costume to [not hit v]

    when this sprite clicked
    switch costume to [hit v]
    play sound [cymbal crash v] until done
    switch costume to [not hit v]

Test out your cymbal, to see if it works!

Click on the stage, and then click the ‘Sounds’ tab and then ‘Choose sound from library’ to add some music to the stage. The music is in the ‘Music Loops’ section.

Add this code to your stage, remembering to select the sound that you chose:

    when flag clicked
    forever
        play sound [eggs v] until done
    end

This code repeatedly plays the music that you have chosen. Click the flag to test it out!

You can even add this code to your stage, to allow you to mute and unmute the background music using the ‘m’ and ‘u’ keys:

    when flag clicked
    set volume to (100)%
    forever
        play sound [eggs v] until done
    end

    when [m v] key pressed
    set volume to (0)%

    when [u v] key pressed
    set volume to (100)%
