sends a message to all Sprites.

sends the message go now to all Sprites

The following activity shows you how to use broadcast.

Create 3 sprites: Name them Cat, Blobbo and Pinky

Give them the following scripts

Blobbo	Cat	Pinky

Here is what your finished Scratch should do (click the green flag to start it from the beginning)

Here is what happens when it runs: 1. The green flag is clicked, so Cat spins around, then tells Pinky to go. 2. Pinky receives the broadcast to go, so spins around, then broadcasts 'Go Blobbo' 3. Blobbo gets the 'Go Blobbo' broadcast, so spins around. 4. Blobbo says 'Yippee!' and broadcasts 'go all'. 5. They all get the 'go all' broadcast, so spin around forever.
