Hello Richard! Could you help me with my question on this topic: > [@The PXT module for STM32 board based on freertos](https://forum.makecode.com/t/the-pxt-module-for-stm32-board-based-on-freertos/1323): > > Hello, I am trying to understand if I could create a PXT module for STM32 microcontroller. The application of STM32 board based on freertos. I would like to know if there are any examples of using CODAL with freertos to create PXT module ? And if it is possible ? For example how it was done by Lego for their operating system: Please give me some advice! Thanks! ---

Hello Richard! In my code when I set a certain sprite to another sprite, instead of going to the location of the second sprite the first sprite will only go to one set location. Every single time. I have tried to set the location of the first sprite to a different sprite, however, it still goes to on set spot. ---

Hi @MiniNelson! Could you share a link to your code? Here’s a gif showing how to do that: ![2020-03-23 09.17.36](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/1X/b33ee0cc63a7c343c23e4b6dd8665405eae8f852.gif) ---

oh wow, that’s a lot of code! What part of the code is buggy? Could you post a screenshot of just that snippet? ---

Sure. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/1X/c44fbc309b9e718f6f3f7a5619eb5817fe39e573.png) When I “set projectile2 to projectile from ALIEN4 with vx(0) and yx(0)” and then “set projectile2 to sprite of kind Projectile2.” Instead of setting projectile2 from ALIEN4 it sets projectile2 at a set spot in the middle of the screen. ---

Thanks! That code is creating two different sprites, one that is a transparent projectile on top of “ALIEN4” and another that is a transparent sprite in the middle of the screen. The second one is overriding the first, which is why you’re seeing it in the middle of the screen. I think you want to use the “set kind” block instead of “create sprite”, like this: ![Screen Shot 2020-04-15 at 10.59.47 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/1X/1376de0cdecb1a211f006113d4b09eb8a4a2f6d9.png) You’ll find the block in the “overlaps” section of the block category. ---

Hi, I want to increase the tempo in a game as the game progresses, to add some suspense. I can’t seem to get the “change tempo by xx bpm” to work. In this iteration, I’ve got it in a logic block, but I’ve tried it in “on start”, “on game update”, “on overlap”. I just want the tempo to change!

@bee, you need to use the tempo block in your playMelody. right now it’s hardcoded to 200 ![2020-10-20 12.17.41](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/8/8dfb23bb365bb0143354c5678c9ea84b0d6ab418.gif) ---

@kingcobralasersnakes The “2” you have there is actually a text block and not a number. If you grab a number block from the math category and place it over the “2”, it should work! ---
