Changes the costume of a sprite or group of sprites.
This block can make a sprite look different without changing its location or properties.
Examples
Example 1
A costume change can be triggered by an event. For example, when the alien is pressed, it changes all the green fish costumes to pink fish costumes.
Example 2
Just one sprite can be changed by name. In this case, there is one alien pretending to be like the others. When that alien clicked, it reveals its true self.
