Starts with the Cloud view. Click on the tutorial cloud. The first challenge in Sugar Etoys asks user to create a simple script and click on a clock to get it going. Try to complete the tutorial. To get to a 'clean version' of the Etoys Challenge go to the Cloud view and click on Tutorials and Demos. Etoys SHOULD load a clean version for you complete with scripting blocks ready to go.

When creating a test I want to use a script1 for Yes, and script2 for No. How do I do that? I have not been able to drag and drop the scripts into the test area.

: Click the eye ball viewer. Look for scripts. Drag your script block from the viewer and the script block into your test. Etoys is touchy and the UI for handling the blocks, compared to [http://scratch.mit.edu/ Scratch], is clumsy but it can be done. Here's a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNfz7JIuGs8 video of how to get get scripts into test blocks].

:I think they are referring to the little clock in the toolbar to the right of the '!' and the left of the word "pause" or "ticking".  --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 00:04, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
