Change it's size to 50% in the Sprite properties and then add the following code to the dino sprite:

when green flag clicked set rotation style [left-right v] // this is important for when we make it move left and right later go to x [0] y [140] // place it at the top center at the start go to [front v] layer // make it appear over the ground sprite

Scratch: How to add a sprite from the library

---

To add a sprite from the sprite library follow these steps:

1. Put your mouse over the Choose a Sprite button
2. Click on the magnifying glass
3. Find the sprite you want in the library
4. Click on your chosen sprite

You can use search box or the filter links (Animals, People, Fantasy etc) to locate your sprite.

Use the sprite editor to draw a 'ground' sprite. Use the Rectangle tool to draw a green box and drag it so it covers the bottom half of the stage area.

Rename this sprite to 'ground' in the sprite properties.

Scratch: How to create your own sprite

---

You can create your own sprites using the sprite editor. To create a new sprite put your mouse over the Choose a Sprite button and then click on the paintbrush.

This create a blank sprite and will open the sprite editor where you can use the tools to create your sprite. You can even create extra costumes for your sprite!

Tip: give your sprite a name so that you can recognise it in the code blocks.

Create a variable called 'gravity' and then add the below code. This code makes the dino fall if it's not touching the ground.

when green flag clicked set rotation style [left-right v] go to x [0] y [140] go to [front v] layer // add the new code under here set [gravity v] to (0) forever if < not < touching (ground v) ?> > then change y by (gravity) change [gravity v] by (-1) end end
