Game lab–My students and I have been trying to make a sprite go in a square/rectangle. We have the code for 3 of the sides but have tried numerous times to get it to finish the last leg. No success. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Here is the code we have so far:

background(“green”);  
var corgi\_1 = createSprite(5, 200);  
corgi\_1.setAnimation(“corgi\_1”);  
corgi\_1.height = 50;  
corgi\_1.width = 70;  
function draw() {  
if (corgi\_1.x \< 215) {  
corgi\_1.x = corgi\_1.x + 5;  
}  
if (corgi\_1.x \>= 215) {  
corgi\_1.y = corgi\_1.y + 5;  
}  
if (corgi\_1.y \>= 315) {  
corgi\_1.x = corgi\_1.x + 78654;  
}  
if (corgi\_1.y \> 300) {  
corgi\_1.x = corgi\_1.x - 10;  
}  
if ((corgi\_1.x) \<= 25) {  
corgi\_1.x = corgi\_1.x + 5;  
}  
drawSprites();  
}  
Thank you,  
Marla

Here’s my attempt . . .

var corgi\_1 = createSprite(10, 200);  
corgi\_1.setAnimation(“corgi\_1”);  
corgi\_1.height = 50;  
corgi\_1.width = 70;  
function draw() {  
background(“white”);  
if (corgi\_1.x\<250 && corgi\_1.y==200) {  
corgi\_1.x = corgi\_1.x + 5;  
}  
if (corgi\_1.x==250 && corgi\_1.y\<350) {  
corgi\_1.y = corgi\_1.y + 5;  
}  
if (corgi\_1.x\>10 && corgi\_1.y==350) {  
corgi\_1.x = corgi\_1.x - 5;  
}  
if (corgi\_1.x==10 && corgi\_1.y\<=350) {  
corgi\_1.y = corgi\_1.y - 5;  
}  
drawSprites();  
}

Marla,

Lana answered - but is that what you’re looking for? Lana used complex conditionals (&&) to make it so when true conditions are true - in this case an x and y value - it would execute the code.

Hope that helps and thank you @lana.shea!
