Description

Blocks held inside this block will be in a loop — just like the Repeat () block and the Repeat Until () block, except that the loop never ends (unless the stop sign is clicked, the Stop All block is activated, or the stop script block is activated within the loop). Due to this infinite loop, the block has no bump at the bottom; having a bump would be pointless, as the blocks below it would never be activated.

Touch Piano

The example demonstrates using the Quarky touch display to make touch piano.

Dance Party

The example demonstrates how to run different actions with the Quarky touch sensor to make a disco party in PictoBlox.

Ultrasonic Sensor with Quarky

The example demonstrates how to use an ultrasonic sensor with Quarky.

Connections

Now we will connect the Ultrasonic Sensor to the Robot. The sensor and the robot have the following pins:

Ultrasonic Sensor Pins:
1. VCC
2. GND
3. Trig
4. Echo
Quarky Pins:
1. GND
2. V
3. D1
4. D2

We will start with connecting the ultrasonic sensor with Quarky using the 4 set wire provided in the kit. But, first, make the connection in the following way:

First, connect the VCC of the ultrasonic sensor with the V pin on the Quarky.
Connect the GND of the ultrasonic sensor with the Ground pin on the Quarky.
Connect Trig of the ultrasonic sensor with D1 pin on the Quarky.
Finally, connect the Echo of the ultrasonic sensor with the D2 pin on the Quarky.

Pendulum Wand – Rotation

The example demonstrates how to make a sprite be fixed to a point but can rotate. The wand is hanging like a pendulum.

The center of the wand in the costume is the point of rotation.

The following code creates the simulation of the pendulum.

Output

Bell and Falling Balls

In this example, you understand the effect of the density, roughness, and bounce properties of the sprites. The ball falls from the top randomly, and the bell is fixed but can rotate.

Script of Bell

The bell center is changed to make it swing from the top.

Script for Ball

This script creates clones of the ball every 0.5 seconds.

This script assigns the properties of the clone.

Output

We will change the density of the bell and the ball in the block – set sprite density () roughness () bounce (). This will result in different simulations.

Bell is very light and the balls are very heavy: The inertia of the balls will affect the bell too much.
Bell is very light and balls are also very light: The bell is less affected by the ball. Gradually the bell slows down.
Bell is very heavy and the balls are very light: The bell is not affected at all. The balls are thrown without adding any effect on the bell.
Bell is very heavy and the balls are also very heavy: Same as option 2 – The bell is less affected by the ball. Gradually the bell slows down.
