To write your code, drag blocks from the menus on the left to the workspace in the middle of the page. Connect blocks like puzzle pieces to create a list of commands in a specific order. Remember, code runs from top to bottom; therefore, Zumi will first attempt to do the command at the top and then she will move on to the next one. She will repeat this process until she reaches the last line of your code, which is when she will stop.
As an example, Zumi will first move forward for 1 second at a speed of 40. After she completes that, then she will turn right 90 degrees. Since there are no commands after that, she – and the code (!) – will stop.
To delete blocks, separate what you want to get rid of from your code and drag them to the trashcan in the lower righthand corner. If you want to delete your entire program, you can drag the whole thing to the trashcan.
To see what your program looks like in Python, click on one of the Python language icon on the right side of the workspace.
Make sure you save! You can do this by going to the menu in the upper lefthand corner of the workspace and clicking on “Save”. To open a saved program, go to the same menu and click on “Open…”.
