Eng:Pen Down (block)

The Pen Down block is a Pen block and a Stack block. The block will make its sprite continuously pen a trail wherever it moves (until the Pen Up block is used). The color, width, and shade of the trail can be changed with other independent blocks.

Example Uses
This block is used most frequently in projects that require art to be drawn. When a sprite will continuously pen a trail (for example, a project where the goal is to fill the whole screen), most projects will use this block. This block is also commonly used in one sprite one script one costume projects.

Some common uses for the Pen Down block: when I receive [Draw string v] pen down repeat (10) change x by (5) end pen up pen down repeat (50) set x to (pick random (240) to (-240)) set y to (pick random (480) to (-480)) end pen up go to x: (0) y: (0) set pen color to [#7d7d7d] set pen size to (20) pen down change x by (150) pen up go to x: (5) y: (0) set pen color to [#00d5fa] set pen size to (12) pen down change x by (140) pen up
