Does anyone...

Does anyone know how to use the "Pen Down" block? I used it once, trying to make a painting program, but I always seem to move the sprite, making no marking at all...

Math Trick of the Week: Choose any three digit number that's one digit is at least 2 less that the tens digit and the tens digit at least 2 less than the hundreds. Then, reverse the digits and subtract. Then, reverse the digits in the answer and add. You should get 1089.

Re: Does anyone...

It doesn't work if you drag it in offline non-presentation mode because you are technically taking the sprite off the screen when you do that.  To make it work you need to unclick the lock button next to the sprite's name and drag it in presentation mode, or make a script using motion blocks.

Also make sure that the pen is down *during* the move. If you put the pen down before the sprite moves and then take it up again, it'll do nothing because the pen wasn't down while the sprite moved. Anyways, you'd have to go into presentation mode, as Kileymeister noted.  smile
