I have a problem in my game Levels. When I put the scripts on how to move, and I moved it with the way the scripts showed me to, the square would move a lot sometimes, and a little some other times, even though I told it only to move 3 steps. Please help me. Here is the link(below).

There are two ways you can fix the problem, pick whichever one you want:

1. Go to the costume editor for sprite 3 (the green one), look in the top right corner there should be a little plus sign with a dot in the middle so click that, then click the center of the green square. Problem solved.

2. Make it so it changes x by 3 when right pressed, changes x by -3 when left pressed, changes y by 3 when up pressed, and changes y by -3 when down pressed. Problem solved. (here Ill show you the script so it's easier)

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <key [right arrow ] pressed?> then
    
change x by (3)
end
if <key [left arrow ] pressed?> then
    
change x by (-3)
end
if <key [up arrow ] pressed?> then
    
change y by (3)
end
if <key [down arrow ] pressed?> then
    
change y by (-3)
end

end

forever
    
start project
work on it
abandon it

end

The problem is in the

 point in direction ( v) 

block. This block will change the direction of the sprite in relative to the center of the sprite in the costume. And that cause the problem in your case.

There is two way to solve your problem:
1. Re-position the green block to the center in the costume
2. Instead of

point in direction ( v)
move () steps

,use

change x by ()

change y by ()

For example:

when [right arrow v] key pressed
change x by (3)

when [left arrow v] key pressed
change x by (-3)

when [up arrow v] key pressed
change y by (3)

when [down arrow v] key pressed
change y by (-3)

*Do not confuse x with y (x controls left and right, y controls up and down)

either method will work, if you still do not understand, feel free to clarify

end

end

The second option will make it run smoother than the first though.

You should still center the sprite no matter what to avoid further issues.
