Hello everyone, this is my first game in scratch, and I'm trying to paint a new sprite, draw a rectangle and name it so I can put the sprite name in as a parameter for the touching sprite ? block, but the problem is, when I click paint a new sprite, I don't know how to change the name from Sprite1 to say Paddle, what am I missing, how do I do this?

IN the editor under the stage is what I call the sprite palette and where all the sprites in the project are shown. Each one has a little blue I in t's top right corner; click that and you can change lots of the sprite's properties including it's name.

BTW Well done for asking as too many projects fail to name sprites. Keeping the default values means scripts are much harder to understand.

if <touching [enemy ship v] ?> then
    
end
 

is so much nicer than

if <touching [sprite 12 v] ?> then
    
end
