🟩🐱 Feature Card: Glide a Sprite

Use this when you want a sprite to move smoothly across the screen — like a fish swimming, a spaceship flying, or a balloon drifting.

🧠 What is "glide"?

In Scratch, the glide block makes a sprite smoothly move to a new position on the stage over a set number of seconds.

This gives a natural-looking movement and is a great way to simulate swimming, flying, floating, or drifting.
