2.04 Animation using loops

Another way to animate the spaceship is to tell it to move a small amount many times

Delete the glide block from your code. To do this, drag the block off the Code area and drop it back where the other single code blocks are.

Now use a repeat block to move your spaceship towards the Earth.

Test and save your code. Your spaceship should move towards the Earth exactly as before, but this time it uses a repeat block.

Next add code to your spaceship sprite so that the spaceship changes colour as it moves towards Earth?

Use this block:

Test and save your code.

Can you make your spaceship get smaller as it moves towards Earth?

Test and save your code. Your spaceship should now get smaller as it moves. Test your spaceship a second time. Is it the right size when it starts?
