6.02 Move the player sprite

Start by creating a player sprite that can move around your world.

Open the ‘Create your own world’ Scratch starter project.

Online: open the online starter project at create-your-own-world-on.

Add more code to your player sprite so it can move down and to the right as well. Use the code you already have to help you.
