I have searched and searched but can’t seem to find an updated way to make a sprite glide smoothly as it can in Scratch. I need both the x and y positions to be random. I can make my sprite move but it’s spotty. I’d like a smooth transition between the 2 random locations. I’ve seen old videos (from 2020) using a timer component, however that doesn’t seem to be available anymore. Has anyone done this before? I’m attempting to create a gaming app for a beginner class I am teaching.

Thanks!
