Every presentation needs a title screen. Let's get started by creating a new Scratch project and deleting the cat:
- From the sprites list, select the stage.
- From the scripts area, click on the Backgrounds tab.
- Import a new background by clicking on the Import button. The Import Background dialog box displays.
- Browse the folders to select a background you like. I'm going to use the wooden-house from the
Outdoorsfolder. - From the backgrounds list, delete the default background by clicking on the X next to the Copy button.
- Open the background in the Paint Editor by clicking the Edit button.
- Give the slideshow a name by using the Text tool to add text to the image. Look back to the Time for action paint a happy birthday sprite exercise earlier in this chapter if you need help entering text. My slideshow is titled, Buddy's Bottlecap Surgery.
- Click OK in the Paint Editor to save your work and return to Scratch.
Every presentation needs a title screen, and we just created ours by importing a new background into our project. By now, it's clear that the Paint Editor is a central tool for us in Scratch, but did you notice a subtle difference in the way we added text?
Earlier in the chapter, we created a new sprite named Happy Birthday using the Text tool. This time, we added text to an existing image.
