Add assigned text

um we are going to be learning how to add text to our output grid okay so far we have um drawn shapes we've used sprites and backgrounds we've added we'll sprite characters sprite soccer balls so let's look at this little cartoon that was made in game lab okay what do you think the aliens should be saying i don't know hey what happened to my spaceship or where'd y'all come from okay so remember that we might y'all are going to have the ability to put some text there later so how can we use text to improve our scenes and animations we're going to learn a new coding command this lesson okay it's going to the command is called text string you have your string in quotes x y this is going to write the word string on the grid at the x y coordinates the x and y are going to be at the bottom left corner of your text box and there are actually two additional optional parameters uh x 2 and y2 if you use the little arrow to the right of the command block um it will expand that out and you can add those those can specify the bottom right corner of your text box and this will allow your text to wrap within those parameters within those coordinates that you give on the screen this isn't necessary by default you specify the bottom left it will just write the text across the grid okay so we are going to go to uh code studio um we're actually going to go to code studio level 2 and we're going to predict some outcome and then we're going to add work on adding our own text blocks so okay so here we are in level two so read this code and make a prediction okay remembering what we just learned um i have two coding blocks here they are blue you're going to find them in the drawing toolbox they are text then the word hello and then it coordinates x equals 10 x equals 200 line 3 the word everyone or the phrase everyone at x equals 200 y equals 300. so what's going to show on the screen okay so the words hello and everyone at um 10 200 and 200 300. so that would be so 10 200 would write be right here and then 200 300 would be over here so left hand side and now right side that's what i'll put okay so let's see if we are correct oh there they are they're super tiny to oh in the middle oops i got it right it will not allow me to so it would have been 200 300 so it is on the right hand side but it's just right there to the right of the grid but it's super tiny but we're going to have the opportunity to change the text size let's look at three and we're going to work on three together and then you are going to work on four five and six uh for homework and on number five you just need to pick one okay so you can put text anywhere you'd like on the screen using the text block read the documentation by clicking on the block in the toolbox to see how to change how to change the size and color of your text so where's the command so the command is all the way down here you can hover over it and see examples okay so the parameters are listed gives a description of the command okay change the display texts okay let's say good morning world let's hit run and then oh add a second block okay morning world great so this will be drawn at 50 200 will be the bottom left corner of the text and that one says 0 15 but i don't want to put that one there i'm going to put that one below the other one so i'm going to put that one at 50 300. so i'm going to change this one there we go at 50 300. let's run it and see okay that text is super tiny so i am going to make my text a little bit bigger so i'm going to change my text size i'll use this text size command i'm going to change it to 24. that looks a little bit better okay i like that a little bit better and i'm just going to show you all you can change uh you can change the fill of the text i'm going to change mine to green see what happens look okay i have changed the text size and i have changed the fill to green and that changes the color of my output now remember any it's just like a sprite property or when you set the fill for a shape you have to set those settings before you draw the text on this screen okay so i have to set the text size and the fill before i write the words if i put these after i write the words on the screen and what happens when i hit run i don't see the output i want to see so these need to be drawn before so remember that remember order of commands matters okay so i'm gonna let y'all work on um the homework which is four five pick one and number six and that um that wraps up this very short lesson and next class period you will be doing a mini project and creating your own sprite scene with all the things we've learned so far
