sprite.setVelocity()
Category:Sprites
Sets the sprite velocity in both the x and y direction.
A positive x parameter will move the sprite to the right, a positive y parameter will move the sprite downward. Must be used with the draw() function containing a drawSprites(). You can also update the velocity of a sprite using setSpeedAndDirection() or by updating the sprite properties sprite.velocityX and sprite.velocityY.
The default velocity is 0 in both x and y directions.
Examples
var sprite = createSprite(200, 200);
sprite.setVelocity(2,2);
function draw() {
background("white");
drawSprites();
}
