I am creating a sprite and placing it on the screen at a specified location. As seen in code below, sprite is supposed to be placed in the center of the screen but for unknown reason, the Y axis positioning is not correct. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/6/865f4b57546d790c8815aed6f2c9c53b439d6c8f.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/8/c8ef7197aea2c92e4b2829ef979db167370098c3.png) The x appears in center but Y is way down the screen. The value seen 640 is the height of the screen so dividing it by 2 should have placed it in center of screen. ---

Hi @sysads Are your using relative or absolute sizing for your screen height/width? Thanks! ---

It’s OK, the way you did puts the corner in the point, not the center of the object. You could put for instance point x= (screen width/2)-(sprite\_Type width/2) ---
