STEP 12: Hm. We want our ball to move, not our soccer player!
We can use a sprite's variable name to assign actions to a sprite. This is called dot notation.
- In your .set_x_speed(5) command, change the name in front from sprite to ball.
- Click Run. Now, your ball should be bouncing horizontally back and forth on the stage.

microbit = codesters.Microbit()
microbit.show_string("hello")
stage.set_background("soccerfield")
sprite = codesters.Sprite("athlete2")
sprite.move_down(150)
def button_a():
sprite.move_left(50)
microbit.event_button_a(button_a)
def button_b():
sprite.move_right(50)
microbit.event_button_b(button_b)
ball = codesters.Sprite("soccerball")
sprite.set_x_speed(5)
