What Is a Backdrop? test test test

As of now, the Stage looks quite plain and simple, doesn't it? What can we possibly do to make it more lively? Come in: backdrops!

A backdrop is one of the many frames, or backgrounds, that a Stage can have. The Stage can change its look to any of its backdrops.

Choosing a Backdrop

You can choose a backdrop from:

  • the backdrop library
  • uploading a file from the computer
  • creating one using the paint editor
Choose a Backdrop button and backdrop options menu in PictoBlox

Follow the steps:

  • Open PictoBlox and create a New File.
  • Select the coding environment as Block Coding.
  • Click Choose the Backdrop and select any backdrop you want. We're choosing the Forest backdrop (to make Tobi feel at home).
