Sprites: the actors in your game

A sprite is an actor with a position, direction, size, visibility and scripts. Different sprites can run different event stacks at the same time.

The selected sprite determines which scripts and properties you are editing. Check the sprite panel before changing movement or appearance.

x moves left/right, y moves down/up in the Stage coordinate system, direction controls rotation, and size changes scale.

Games become easier to organize when the player, enemies, collectibles and UI-like actors are separate sprites.

• Give sprites clear names.
• Use broadcast messages for loose coordination.
• Use touching/distance sensing for interaction.
