Lasso tool  
Select the desegnated pixels and move them insted of erasing the arm and redrawing it one pixel up over and over insted use the lasso tool to move it so you dont have to erase it every time! Much easier animating especily for advanced sprite images

We kind of have move segments, just in rectangles. I wish I could use other pixel art editors then import to makecode properly, without using the image converter.

It’s actually much better to plan out animations with a sketch and redraw every frame - it makes much cleaner animation
