Controlling your Sprite
LO: To understand that a sprite can be controlled by pressing the keyboard
SC: To be able to make a sprite move by programming it to respond to a key press.
Look at the screenshot above.
I have used 'change y by 10' but there is also a 'move forward' by block
Which do you think is best to use and why?
What will 'change x by' do?
Experiment.. try them out.. learn!
How could you make the rocket face in a different direction?
Which blocks would you use?
Challenge:
Choose a sprite and make it move left, right, forward and backward using the keyboard.
Can you make your sprite turn slightly and not just through 90 degrees?
