Use the [turn in direction (-90)] block. If you want to keep it upright click the [-] by the sprite name.

u have to make sure to set it from the spinning arrow to the side to side arrow, i think that other function is a waste of time seeing as if you didnt want it to be able to move you just wouldnt add movement lol.

Re: How do I turn my character backward?

I didn't know how to do this for a long time, and ended-up making my Sprites go upside-down all the time.  wink
One simple possibility is to copy your Sprite's costumes and flip them all (I normally do this).  smile

Hope this helps!  smile

Re: How do I turn my character backward?

Oh, wait, if you want them to just MOVE backward and not flip the Sprite, then you should simply do something like this:

[blocks]http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=165712#req_message[/blocks]
You should then put something like -10 steps in there.

Good luck on your new project!  smile
