Kiki on the Move

Goal: Master Kiki's Movement

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to control Kiki's position on the stage using X and Y coordinates with the MOVE command.

• Understanding the stage coordinate system (X for horizontal, Y for vertical).
• Using the MOVE CharacterName TO X Y command.
• Making Kiki perform a simple "jump" sequence.
• Using WAIT to pause actions.

Let's Write Some Script!

1. The script already sets a "forest" background and places Kiki at X:50, Y:150.
2. **Move to Middle:** Add a new line and type: MOVE Kiki TO 200 150
3. **Make Kiki Jump:**
   • On the next line, type: MOVE Kiki TO 200 100 (Kiki moves up)
   • Then, type: WAIT 0.5 (Kiki pauses in the air for half a second)
   • Finally, type: MOVE Kiki TO 200 150 (Kiki lands back)
4. **Move to Right:** After the jump sequence, add a line: MOVE Kiki TO 350 150
5. Click the "▶️ Run Story" button to see Kiki's adventure!

Remember: The stage is like a grid. X values change left-to-right, and Y values change bottom-to-top (though here, smaller Y is higher up). Experiment with different numbers!
