Debugging is finding and fixing issues or errors in your code that result in it not working as expected or at all. Issues are often called bugs. Use these strategies to find bugs and fix problems.

The Scratch sprite library is full of a variety of characters. You can use sprites from the library or create your own original sprite using the Scratch Paint Editor tools, by remixing and reimagining the sprites in the library or uploading a drawing.

Explore the Scratch sound library, which is full of a variety of sound effects, voices, and longer sound loops. Try the music extension blocks that let you use the sounds of a variety of instruments and actual notes with customizable beat lengths to create digital instruments, songs, and more! Using sound in a game, animation, story, or interactive project can add depth and emotion. From the Scratch sound library, recording your own sound, uploading a sound, or using music blocks, experiment with options to make your sound project interactive using inputs like keyboard keys, the mouse, video motion, or even the features of your face or the Makey Makey combined with items like bananas!
