I have my students following along the Cat Platformer Tutorial: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPkC37FzmnU&t=1487s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPkC37FzmnU&t=1487s) And it is really great. At 24:40, he adds a string with values. Does anyone know which axis or parameters each of the values represents? One of my students want to adapt the code to their own game and we were hoping to understand what the string represents. Thanks!!! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/c/c0fa95061228b0dacbd6fc9a455fdde368bc7583.png) ---

the string value for movement animation is based on [SVG paths](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Tutorial/Paths) ---
