Double-click is only moving one step
I'm brand new to Scratch. When I drag a block that says "ten steps" to the middle section, then double-click on it, my sprite only moves one step. I've tried repeatedly and with different sprites.
Has anyone else had this problem? How did you solve it?

Re: Double-click is only moving one step
When it says "10 steps" it really means "10 pixels" which are the unit of measure used on the stage. As you move your mouse around on the stage, the numbers in the lower right corner that say "mouse x:" and "mouse y:" are giving you the mouse position in pixels.
So even though your sprite only moves once, it is moving 10 pixels. If you really want the sprite to move 10 separate times, you could use a "repeat 10" loop from the Control tab around the Move block with a Wait command to make it pause. Like this:
repeat 10
move 10 steps
wait .5 seconds
Hopefully you find this helpful.

Re: Double-click is only moving one step
Or if you want a sprite to move a total of 10 steps, you could do:
repeat 10
move 1 step
wait .5 seconds
You can change any of the number amounts, to have different variations of steps and repititions.
