[0:00] In this video, we will make our sprites spin.

[0:08] Let's find out how this is done.

[0:10] To begin it, I will grab the turn block from the blocks palette.

[0:18] Then, I will click on the [[Eng:Events Blocks|Events link]] and I will grab the [[Eng:When Green Flag Clicked (block)|green flag block]].

[0:25] After that, I will snap these two blocks together and run this [[Eng:project|project]]. 

<scratchblocks>
when gf clicked
turn cw (15) degrees
</scratchblocks>

[0:29] Each time I click on the green flag, the sprite turns by 15 degrees in the clockwise direction. 

[0:35] This is fine, but I want to make this project a bit more interesting by making the sprite spin around in a loop.

[0:43] To do this, I will click on the [[Eng:Control Blocks|Control link]] and grab the [[Eng:Forever (block)|forever block]].

[0:55] The forever [[Eng:blocks|block]] is a little different than the blocks we've been using this far. It has a beginning and an end.

[1:02] I will drag the turn block and snap it within the forever, and then I will snap the forever with the green flag block.

<scratchblocks>
when gf clicked
forever
turn cw (15) degrees
end
</scratchblocks>

[1:10] Now if I hit the green flag, the sprite will spin around forever.

[1:14] To make the sprite stop, hit the [[Eng:Stop Sign|red stop button]]. 

[1:20] Finally, what do you think will happen if I add a move block within the forever? Feel free to change the number of steps the sprite moves forward to see really interesting results.

<scratchblocks>
when gf clicked
forever
move (10) steps
turn cw (15) degrees
end
</scratchblocks>
