Hi!! I am new to Makecode Arcade and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make a sprite face the way it is moving. Help would be greatly appreciated so my game looks better.

Thanks!

Welcome, Zaia!

There are a couple of ways you might try this. My favorite is to go into Extensions and add character-sprite-animations. That will allow you to use a different set of frames depending on the direction your sprite is moving.
