Arrow Key Movement
This video shows you how to program Scratch to move a sprite around the stage using the arrow keys.
Scratch programming concepts covered include:
- Use of the green flag control block to initialise the application by clearing the stage and setting the sprite down in the middle of the stage with the pen down.
- Move and Turn motion blocks for moving the sprite around with turtle graphics.
- Use of the X and Y axis for setting position and the Set XY and Change XY motion blocks.
- Use of the keypress control blocks to allow the arrow keys to control sprite movement.
