In this add-on you will add motion to your story
using glide blocks.
Take a look at the Motion menu.
It contains many blocks that can move a sprite.
To find out what a block does, just click on it.
This video will introduce the glide block.
But there are many ways to program a sprite to move.
To start, drag out a glide block, click it to test it.
Notice that the sprite doesn't go anywhere.
To make the sprite move you need to enter
an X and Y position for the sprite to glide to.
Every position on the stage has an X and Y value.
In this example, this sprite will glide
to the other side of the stage.
Looking at the values output,
that's about X = 200 and Y = 30.
Try this in your project.
Find a spot for the sprite to glide to
and enter it into the glide block.
Then try it to see how it works.
If the sprite doesn't glide to the right spot,
just drag the sprite back and test some other values.
Once the sprite glides to the correct position.
Add the glide block to your story.
Press the green flag to try it out.
Oh no, the sprite started in the position
it was supposed to glide to.
To fix this, set a starting position
for your sprite using a go to block.
The go to block works kinda like the glide block
but it makes the sprite simply appear in the
specific position instead of gliding there.
To easily enter values into the go to and the glide blocks
just drag this sprite to the right position
and notice that the values in the block change
based on the location of the sprite.
Then just place the block at the start of your program.
Try it out now.
Great, the sprite starts at one position
and glides to another.
Now it's your turn.
First, add a glide block to your program.
Second, find a position for the sprite to glide to
and enter those values in the block.
Third, set a starting position for your sprite
using a go to block.
And then once you've added a glide block,
try adding some more.
See what type of motion you can create in your story.
