If you look at the motion script, most of these scripts are semi-rectangular with rounded edges and with notches on the top and the bottom. But the sensing scripts have pointed edges and they're hexagons for the most part. But there's also these circular ones. The scripts that are hexagons are for putting inside of the control if-then-else statements. So you can see those hexagon shapes are right there. So these are values that are true or false. And then we also have these rounded ones. And the rounded ones are values. These will give us, for example, maybe a number value.
