Can we create our own animated sprites in the animation tab?  
Like the one in the Unit 3 lesson 11.8c

We can do it in that lesson only.  
How can we do it in others?

It is definitely possible, but you’d have to play with it a bit more to get there. Maybe this Code Tool Document article will help: [Code.org Tool Documentation](https://studio.code.org/docs/concepts/game-lab/animation-tab/multi-frame-animations/)

Also, some of the lessons don’t have the animation tool available, but if you remix the project, it becomes available.

Thank you both for your help with this. 😃  
We will be giving it a try as an extra challenge for the students who are done with their animated scene project.
