My student is trying to have his setEnemy1 (the owl) loop evenly from one side of he screen to the other smoothly but it seems to start in the middle of the screen?

function setenemy1() {
if (enemy1.x > 400) {
enemy1.y = randomNumber(410, -10);
enemy1.x = randomNumber(-10, 410);
}
}

if the student wants the enemy1(owl) to always reset to just to the left of the screen the 4th line above should be:
enemy1.x = -10;

The line she/he has above is resetting the sprite’s x position to a number in the range of -10 to 410.

In addition, she/he is setting the sprite’s y position to a number in the range of -10 to 410. If the owl should appear on the screen, that should be changed to:
enemy1.y = randomNumber(50,350);
