Tutorial 1

The Motion Interface

A pop-up menu appears containing all of the behaviors that can be applied to the
selected object.

2

Choose Basic Motion > Throw.

The Throw is applied to the object and the Throw Dashboard appears.

3

In the Dashboard, drag from the center of the control and create an arrow heading
straight to the right and about halfway across the graph.

Note: Press Shift to constrain the angle of the Throw to 45-degree angles.

The direction of the arrow indicates the direction the object moves. The size of the
arrow indicates the speed that the object travels.

4

Play the project (press the Space bar).

The green squares float across the screen from left to right over the course of the
project. To move the squares faster or slower, adjust the Throw control accordingly.
