| | Note that the sprite does not move relative to the board: the board stays fixed, the sprite's position relative to the board stays fixed, but the clip rectangle (which is a kind of viewport through which one sees the visible part of the sprite) moves over the sprite. | | | An approximation of "groups without master" that has worked for me is to make the sprite that I am going to move temporarily the master of the group. | | | So what you will want to do is to move the sprite's image with the inverse distance as what the clip rectangle is moved with. |

| | Sprites are small blocks of pixels which can be moved around the screen very quickly and can represent alphanumeric characters, cursor shapes, directional arrows or graphics that form part of a user interface or video game animation. | | | Even circles are formed using the straight lines at the base of tall triangles arranged around a central point where all the apexes meet. | | | Get students to identify the above USES of graphics in the game. |
