Scratch

That is one way to make a sprite move; the sprite will follow the cursor forever once you press start, I'm sure you already know. It can be used in projects such as cursor games and paint projects.

There are other ways to control the sprites' movement, like with the arrow keys. You can use it in many types of game projects, like mazes and platforms.

when green flag clicked
 if<key [up v] pressed?>
change y by (10)
end
 if<key [down v] pressed?>
change y by (-10)
end
if <key [left v] pressed?>
change x by (-10)
end
if <key [right v] pressed?>
change x by (10)
end
end

This is only one of the many ways you can use arrow keys to control sprites.

You can also make the sprites move by itself from point to point:

when green flag clicked
forever
point in direction (-90)
glide (1) secs to x: (-219) y: (0)
point in direction (90)
glide (1) secs to x: (219) y:(0)
end

Or in a circle:

when green flag clicked
forever
move (15) steps
turn cw (5) degrees
end

Those two can be used in animations and for AIs, among many other things.

These are only a few of numerous ways to create sprite movement, I'm sure with a little experimenting, you can find a lot more!

I usually use this kind of script for sprite movement:
<when green flag clicked>
<if><key[ down ]pressed?>
<change y by( 10

Something like that.
