Press the green flag to begin. You'll type the name of the state into the text box. Spelling counts, so be careful! (Capitalization won't affect your score). How many can you name out of 50?
We love how @sebaker26 used the ask and answer blocks to create this state name quiz!

Wow -- this was a labor of love! It took me a while to come up with an idea for today's Getting Unstuck (day 7) prompt: use the "ask" and "answer" blocks. Once I had the idea, I knew it would take a bit of work... But I decided to start with one section at a time and work slowly. As I brainstormed, I explored the Day 7 studio and took a look inside @karenb's code for her word games. I noticed that she used a block for "costume number." After some tinkering, I found I could also use the costume name. Although there are lots of Sprites and backdrops involved here, it actually didn't take too long to build. I built the code for one dot placed on a state and then duplicated it 49 times. All I had to change was the costume name, Sprite name, and x/y coordinates. Then I found when to broadcast messages to prompt backdrop changes. I used the same blank map for each region... I simply used the costume editor in Scratch to cut out the section and blow it up. It's such a great tool. I've learned so many new things that Scratch is capable of this week -- things that save time/iteration and allow for more creative expression in terms of costumes and backdrops. Looking at other Scratchers' code is SO powerful.
