[Female Instructor] In this add-on,
you'll make a fun little friend
who follows the hero around on its adventure.
This add-on uses a block you may not have used before,
but you'll quickly see what it does.
Then, you'll figure out the rest for yourself.
Remember, you're a computer scientist
and computer scientists persevere
and use their minds to solve problems.
First, pick your follower friend or draw your own.
You may need to make it travel-size.
The block you need is in the sensing menu.
It's a round one near the bottom.
The second drop-down lets you pick a sprite.
So, with this block, you can get,
say, the x position of the hero
even in the code for your new follower sprite.
The first drop-down lets you pick different attributes,
which, if you notice, are all the names
of the round blocks in other menus.
You'll use two of these blocks for this add-on,
one for the x position and one for the y position.
The other things you'll use are a forever loop,
a glide block, and some plus or minus blocks
if you want to change exactly how far ahead
or behind the follower follows.
Your final code might look like a really long glide block.
For a bigger challenge, think about
how to make the follower move around randomly a little bit
even when the hero is standing still.
Or figure out how to animate the follower
with different movements or costumes.
Be creative.
Be resourceful.
Have a blast.
Now, it's your turn.
Make a new follower sprite.
Use the round sensing block,
forever, glide, and addition and subtraction blocks.
Challenge yourself by adding random motion and animation.
