In this video we are going to learn how to use "stop ..." Scratch block.
This block is one of the Control blocks, and we are going to use it to stop some code in our game.
Or to be more precise we will use it to stop sprites like dancing kid, butterfly, etc, to animate (change costume) when they are not on the Stage.
This is not priority if your game is small and has only few characters.
But when you start making bigger and more complex games it will come in handy.
Why?
Because if you don't stop your sprites performing some actions on the Stage even if they are not visible, it can get messy fast.
Scratch will have to work on them, and calculate their behavior no matter if we see them or not.
So if you have a lots of characters it will take Scratch more time to do it and it will make your game run slower.
You have couple of options how to use this Scratch block, so take time and explore them all.

Keep on learning, keep on Scratching !!!
