Think of it like a triangle. The tip of the triangle is where your image/object/whatever is, then you increase the hypotenuese and increase the adjacent, or decrease them, and you basically get movement. I don’t think I explained that well…

like basically, in the “creating continuous movement” tutorial, the circles are moving from left to right. what i’d like to know is to make the circles go from down to up, ascending basically. i just cant find where i should modify the code…
