Block Shapes

Scratch blocks come in several shapes, which help identify how they can snap together and are intended to be used:

Name	Shape	Use
Hat Block		First block in a stack of blocks, and identifies what event will start execution of the block stack
Stack block		The primary shape of block in a block stack, typically executes some kind of instruction
Cap block		Can only be used as the last block in a block stack as it ends the execution of the stack
C block		Also used in stacks, but allows for one or more stacks of blocks to be snapped inside that will be conditionally or repeatedly executed
Reporter block		Snaps into the input field of another block, providing a value for that block to use
Boolean block		Snaps into a boolean input field of another block, and provides a value of true or false
