so now the sprites x will always be tracked to the variable x and same with the y

You can use this block in Sprites under the Physics section:

![{96BB188A-796A-4FD3-996E-A87C923FFC46}](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/9/e/9e09a107755868f813917376daa5ada07e7bc8fa.png)

By changing the “x” into a “y” it’ll return the current Y position value of the sprite.
