I’m attempting to make a game whering the main gimmick is pulling yourself toward places you shoot. I need a way to make speed persist after reaching the point (for things such as flinging through windows) [The Prototype is linked here](https://arcade.makecode.com/S58876-16583-69265-82945) Does anyone know what a good way to do this would be? ---

sounds to me like you just need to assign acceleration to your sprite. ---

I figured so, I’m mostly struggling with figuring out how to make sure it sends you in the right direction ---

I haven’t used this extension before, but I think it would help. > **[GitHub - jwunderl/arcade-sprite-util: A few utility functions for sprites](https://github.com/jwunderl/arcade-sprite-util)** > > A few utility functions for sprites After all, this involves trigonometry, and it says in the description it’s helpful for stuff involving trig. ---

The Sprite Utils extension has many useful blocks for dealing with velocity in any direction, as well as blocks for the distance and angle between two sprites! ---
