Learning Objectives
After completing this exercise, you will be able to:
- Create a program using graphical blocks on SNAP tool
- Gain a brief overview of the coordinate system and XY notation for position
- Move the sprite in different directions by a specified number of steps
- Change the orientation of the sprite (the direction it is facing to)
Task List
Create a program the to:
- Position the sprite at 0,0 (called as origin)
- Move the sprite by 100 steps along the x-axis
- Turn the sprite by 90 deg and move 100 steps downwards
- Move the sprite to x=-100, y = 100
Hint:
You may want to use following functional blocks:
Solution:
You can verify your code with the solution presented here. Your code may look like this:
Alternatively, you may also download the code (.XML File) to your computer and import it on SNAP tool running your computer (File Menu > Import).
