I need help with projectiles because (and this might sound really stupid) I can’t seem to find the angle for it to shoot down. Thanks!

`jwunderl/arcade-sprite-util` has a block that lets you make projectiles move along an angle, if that’s what you want.

**VX** is used if you want the projectile to move left or right on the x axis (left or right on the screen)  
**VY** is used for if you want the projectile to move up or down on the y axis (Up or down the screen)

I believe for **VY** its a **positive** number to move down the screen and **negative** to move up the screen and for **VX** its a **positive** number to move right on the screen and a **negative** to move left on the screen.
