    If you want the sprite to move, then use the following code: When green flag clicked forever if up arrow pressed change y by 10, if right arrow pressed change x by 10, if left arrow pressed change x by -10, and if down arrow pressed change y by -10. [If you want it to go faster or slower, change the numbers in code.]
