1. What happens when you change the {"func":"registerKeyTrigger","values":[{"type":"choice","value":"right arrow"}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionChangeXBy","values":[{"type":"number","value":"10"}]}} code block to the {"func":"registerKeyTrigger","values":[{"type":"choice","value":"left arrow"}],"next":{"func":"blockMotionChangeXBy","values":[{"type":"number","value":"10"}]}} code block?

  • The Actor will move right when you hold the right arrow
  • The Actor will move right when you hold the left arrow
  • The Actor will move left when you hold the left arrow
  • Nothing will change

2. How can you make the Actor with the following code move faster while walking?

3. What happens if you replace the {"func":"blockMotionChangeXBy","values":[{"type":"number","value":"10"}]} block with the {"func":"blockMotionChangeXBy","values":[{"type":"number","value":"-10"}]} block?

  • The Actor will move left instead of right
  • The Actor will move slower
  • The Actor will jump
  • The Actor will move faster

4. What happens if you replace the
{"func":"registerKeyTrigger","values":[{"type":"choice","value":"up arrow"}],"next":{"func":"blockControlRepeat","values":[{"type":"number","value":"10"}],"containers":[{"func":"blockMotionChangeYBy","values":[{"type":"number","value":"5"}],"next":{"func":"blockLooksNextCostume","next":{"func":"blockControlWait","values":[{"type":"number","value":"0.05"}]}}}]}}
