Making Sprites Move - Using Keys 2
On the first page of moving using keys we identified the problem that for quicker movement you would need to repeatedly press the keys which is far from ideal. This page shows a slightly different method where the sprite is always moving (this can be controlled so you press to start moving) and then you control the direction with the arrows keys (or other keys)
The first video shows you how to set up the basic movement and keys. The second one shows you how to make the speed changeable so you can go faster or slower.
