I once got a fish to go in a circle, not rotating, but actually go in a circle.
I duplicated it, but it didn't work again. Can someone help me with this?
Depends...could you post the script you used?

Re: Help with making it go in a circle.
Could the center of the sprite have changed? Try going to the costume and clicking "set costume center". If that doesn't work, then refer to comment #2

I can't show you the script atm or anytime soon, because I made it at school, and its spring break right now.
Sorry!
That's fine...do you remember which blocks were involved? Was it simply "turn" blocks?

Did you use any of the:

Re: Help with making it go in a circle.
There are two ways of making sprites go in a circle. One of them involves trigonometry (stuff you learn towards the end of middle school) and some math, so I wouldn't recommend it.
Scratch makes it easier for you by providing the motion blocks, so the following blocks will make any sprite turn in a small circle!
forever move (2) steps turn cw (10) degrees end

I alternated turn up and turn sideways blocks, and put a forever block over it.

No, I mean a real circle, not make it rotate.

OK...how smooth was the circle movement? From what it sounds like, not very...

It was very smooth, but the fish had a gray 'ghost' following it.
So...was the gray "ghost" the sprite moving in a circle?
