actually, it is moving, but you have a backround image which follows the player, so it looks like it’s not moving.

It is following, the reason why is that you put a static background so it looks like the player doesn’t move. If you put some other sprites, it will look like it’s moving. Are you going for a parallax background? (Background with multiple layers in a platformer game?) Also, maybe you should make you’re sprite not a white single dot.

Actually, the sprite is still very well moving; it’s because that the camera is locked onto the sprite so it appears to not move at all.
