Sprite Utils

A grab-bag of sprite math and rendering helpers for MakeCode Arcade: distances, angles, movement, timers, and simple drawing.

move to at speed

Problem it solves

You know how fast you want a sprite to travel, but not how long the trip should take, so `move to` isn't the right fit.

What this block does

Moves a sprite to a location (a sprite, point, or tile location) at a fixed speed. Optionally pauses your code until the move finishes. Only works for sprites without acceleration or friction.
