How can I control a sprite?

[Legomite]

I want to control the movement of a sprite using arrow keys or a sprite touch pad with arrow keys.

How to set the speed of movement and gravity.

Hi @Legomite

 

You need to make sure that you update the position of the sprite at every frame. The code below should move a sprite by 5px when you press a Right Button or a Left Button that are showing on the screen ...

var left = false;var right = false;buttonLeft.mousedown = buttonLeft.touchstart = function() {  left = true;  right = false;}buttonLeft.mouseup = buttonLeft.touchend = function() {  left = false;  right = false;​}buttonRight.mousedown = buttonRight.touchstart = function() {  left = false;  right = true;}buttonRight.mouseup = buttonRight.touchend = function() {  left = false;  right = false;}var player = new game.Sprite('player.png');player.position.set(240*game.scale, 160*game.scale);player.anchor.set(0.5, 1);this.stage.addChild(player);game.scene.addObject(player); player.update = function() {   if (left) {     player.x = player.x - 5*game.scale;   } else if (right) {    player.x = player.x + 5*game.scale;  }}
