Adding Vertical Movement
We can start by duplicating what had previously and tweaking it like this:
if <key [up arrow v] pressed?> then
point in direction [0]
end
if <key [down arrow v] pressed?> then
point in direction [180]
end
Next, we’ll add it to our game loop.
when green flag clicked
forever
if <key [right arrow v] pressed?> then
point in direction [90]
end
if <key [left arrow v] pressed?> then
point in direction [-90]
end
if <key [up arrow v] pressed?> then
point in direction [0]
end
if <key [down arrow v] pressed?> then
point in direction [180]
end
move [10] steps
end
And now, our little friend can move in all four directions.
Optional Extension: For fun, let’s look at a slightly different approach to movement.
