more to be done we're going to make this bad boy move okay let's not get crazy [dancing legs on a computer screen]

00:26

your sprite isn't going to be on Dancing with the Stars any time soon so if you

00:31

look under the tab labeled scripts you'll see all sorts of motions that

00:35

[a drawing of fire with a smiley face] your sprite can make want them to move a little bit to the right easy just click

00:39

on the blue block labeled move 10 steps drag it over into the gray space to the

00:44

right give it a click and bingo there goes your sprite a little to the right

00:48

[a slug on wooden floor] yeah yeah we know even a slug can move a little bit to the right but this stuff

01:31

our sprite will make that movement 10 times in a row or if we're feeling

01:36

really ambitious we can grab one of the blocks labeled forever and then our

01:40

sprite will really get movin way off the screen in fact but have no fear if we

01:46

want to see our precious sprite again we can get a if on edge bounce motion add

01:50

[a fire sprite bouncing across the screen] it to our forever block and our sprite will be bouncing across the screen for

01:54
