Make sprite move faster

lisarath

What would be the appropriate steps to make my sprite move faster as a game goes on? Thank you.

Thank you. I have tried that but my sprite just shows on the edge of the stage but does not move. Any suggestions? Appreciate your help.

The sprite touching the edge is an effect of how Scratch works - to prevent new programmers from being confused, no sprites can go off the screen completely. Are you making a game that continually scrolls, or a platformer (background is static)

lisarath

My background is static. I do already have some code as follows (not sure if this is affecting it in any way):

When green flag clicked
set speed to 1
forever
move speed steps
if on edge, bounce

Alright, you need to first set the position of your sprite. Try

I think that I'd be making a variable (eg: quik, give it a “set quik to 1”, but then in the above listing, replace the “1” with “quik”.).
As your game progresses, "change ‘quik’ by +/- some fraction".
At least, that would be my starting point.

Do you want your sprite to increase its speed only when it moves? Or do you want the speed to inscrease with time?

Look at script A or B depending on your preferred option. I added a speed limit as the sprite may move too fast past a certain threshold.

A) Speed increases as the sprite moves

B) Speed increases independantly of the sprite. We need 2 sets of blocks:

Everyone, please check the date of the original post… This is an extremely old topic.

Also, if you have a question of your own, it would be better to make your own topic instead of posting on someone else's.

You can change all the numbers.

I hope I helped.

If two sprites are racing, and let's call them cat and dog, if the cat got to the finish line first, how would you make all scripts stop for the dog and the cat?
