What are scenes?

A scene is like a picture that changes when you move your toy car around on the floor.

Imagine you have a big piece of paper, and it’s divided into parts, like the floors of a house. Each part is a scene. When your toy car moves from one floor to another, the background or the walls change, that's because you're now in a new scene. It’s like playing with different rooms in your house.

How scenes work

Think of a video game where you walk through doors and enter new areas. Each area is a scene. When you go from the living room to the kitchen, it feels like a new place, that's because the scene changed.

Or imagine flipping pages in a storybook. Each page shows a different part of the story, each one is like a scene. You move from one page to another, and everything looks a little different, just like when you walk through a door.
