2. Concepts Layouts and Layers Event Sheets Objects Behaviors Effects Global vs. Instance Variables

3. You still have to code a little Construct allows you to use expressions You will still need to understand concepts like flow control, events, etc

4. Expressions In events, expressions are used to calculate sums or retrieve information from objects, such as a Sprite's X co-ordinate.

5. Conditional Operators You can use the following operators in expressions: + (addition) - (subtraction) * (multiplication) / (division) % (modulo, remainder after division) ^ (raise to power, e.g. 5 ^ 2 = 25) & (build strings, e.g. "Your score is: " & score)
