How do you make your sprite move up, down, left, right gracefully?

I want to make a project featuring that but I can't make it.

There is a plethora (a lot) of posts about this, go check them out.

for your convenience, I have linked the page below AND provided the anwser.

try this

forever
    
if <key [ left arrow] pressed?> then
    
change x by (join [-] (speed))
end
if <key [right arrow] pressed?>
change x by (speed)
end
end

change x to y and the sensing blocks for up and down, basically vise versa

feel free to follow me, I will follow you if you do

this works

forever
    
if <key [left arrow] pressed?> then
point in direction ( -90) 
change [ xvelocity] by (-1)
end
if <key [up arrow] pressed?> then
   point in direction ( 0)
change [ yvelocity] by (1)
end
end

replicate those just change the right key to +1
also the down key to -1

Hey,

I just shared a project that demonstrates some different approaches to making a sprite move. Some of them may be classified as graceful IMO.

You could also use change Y and X for it to be pretty smooth.

when green flag clicked

forever
    if <key left arrow pressed> then
change x by (-6 (OR you can do something else))    
if <key right arrow predded> then
    change x by (6 (OR you can do something else))
if <key up arrow pressed> then
change y by (6 (OR you can do something else))    
if <key down arrow pressed> then
    
change y by (-6 (OR you can do something else))
end

end

end

end

end

oops you were not supposed to put the “if” inside of each other. Ignore dat bit…

Hmm, moving can be a bit chunky. I recommend using this script:

when [ left] key pressed
glide (1.5) secs to x: ((x position) - (20)) y: (y position)

etc
Or, if you want it to move around like a ball (you were pretty vague about it) you can use.

when green flag clicked
forever
move (10) steps
if on edge, bounce
end

Hope this helps.

go here for all the info you need.

Just make a variable name it anything.
Then make a forever that changes the characters x to the variable.
Now make it so that when the walk key is pressed, it adds or subtracts from the variable, I think adding moves it right
and subtracting moves it left.

Sorry I'm using a mobile device I cant be on my PC right now.

I thought that sharks were punching bags. Their bite makes pirrahna bites like slaps.

hope that helps

say [] for (2) secs

You could go old school and do

when green flag clicked
glide () secs to x: (0) y: (0)
