Follow the mouse

Read the mouse coordinates every frame and move the sprite to that position.

whenGreenFlag(() => {
  forever(() => {
    goto(getMouseX(), getMouseY());
  });
});

The sprite snaps to the cursor instantly on every tick. To make it lag behind the cursor for a smoother feel, use glide with a very short duration instead.

whenGreenFlag(() => {
  forever(() => {
    glide(0.05, getMouseX(), getMouseY());
  });
});

Try this next

• Glide smoothly to a point — use glide instead of goto for a smoother lag effect
• Animate a sprite with costumes — animate the sprite while it follows the cursor
