I’m a first year CS Discoveries teacher and am trying to code a sprite to travel back and forth (not randomly) across part of the screen (think fish in a fish bowl. Attached is the current version of the code. ![Fish1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/codeorgforum/original/2X/7/704456b6c79521b3fd3ec5e7eec0b91ec16790bc.jpeg) ![fish2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/codeorgforum/original/2X/6/6ec4a5c6072152eed6d858551289ed2927b663aa.jpeg) ! With this code the fish starts on the right of the bowl, gets to the left side and switches to the right facing fish and doesn’t move. I understand why…but I don’t know what to do instead. Thank you in advance for whatever suggestions you can throw my way. I have also been playing with If/Else and If/Else if…not sucessfully. ---

Hi @karen_black, The link you shared doesn’t take me to the actual project. If you click on the ‘Share’ button on the top of your screen that’ll give you a link directly to your project. That way we can see the code and help you out better. Thanks! ---

Hi Karen, Here is one way to cause this to happen. There are other ways also. > **[Check out what I made](https://studio.code.org/projects/gamelab/A2fPtoMp82YJzN61scwTa_dpcxR3QD9F6ya3M5LZcL4)** > > I wrote the code myself with Code.org ---

Oh wow! That’s perfect! I haven’t used velocity before…I’ll play with it. I appreciate you taking the time to help me out. Thank you so much!
