Use the sprite data extension to throw projectiles. ---

A quick update: The enemies dont shoot but I have updated the game. There is a working katana and cutscenes. There’s a cutscene when you die and if you reach 55 score [https://makecode.com/\_i4VhjzfkxPVf](https://makecode.com/_i4VhjzfkxPVf) ---

I havd the exact same problem here is my game if you want to see some code [https://arcade.makecode.com/S71414-38650-97092-96697](https://arcade.makecode.com/S71414-38650-97092-96697) ---

over all i have a good solution for all of you im makecode arcade there is a squareRoot() block well in that block there is sin, cos and atan2 what we need to do is find the radians between two points using atan2 and make that into a velocity multiplier using cos and sin how do we do that? well to find the radian between two points use somthing like this ```auto dx = x2 - x1 dy = y2 - y1 radians = Math.atan2(dy, dx) ``` or ```auto radians = Math.atan2(y2 - y1, x2 - x1) ``` then to set the speed of your projectile use sin and cos ```auto mySprite.setVelocity(cos(radians) * speed, sin(radians) * speed) ``` it looks something like this ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/f/fac671e0c6c31aa82b76cc148f1cb1b0209bc7b7.png) ---

sorry i forgot to put sin and cos cos is for the vx and sin is for vy (sin/cos of the radians) And in dy dont put (sprite).x - (value).x put (sprite).y - (value).y
