When you create an animated sprite it sets several images as the animation. When you write "play sprite 1,x,y,100" it places the sprite on the screen at the x and y location and shows the first frame of the animation. If x and y stay the same and don't change then the next time "play sprite" is ran it won't move but it will show the next frame of the animation. It's up to you to increase/decrease the x and y location to move the sprite.

If you do that it'll always be in the same place too.

Use either "x=x+10" or better yet "inc x,10" on a line under the play sprite command.

Edit: I decided to clarify more.

x and y are where you want the program to put the sprite.

Screens are like this (default is 640x480)

0,0---------------640,0
|
|
|
|
|
0,480------------640,480

So if you do this:


The first loop x=0 and y=300 so it puts the sprite at 0,300 on the screen. The next loop x is increased by 10 so x=10... so the sprite is placed at 10,300 (y did not change so it stays the same). Then x=20 and so on till it goes off the screen (it'll keep going till you hit esc).
