STEP 11: Let's now make our soccer ball bounce around!
The x speed of a sprite is how fast it moves horizontally. The y speed of a sprite is how fast it moves vertically.
- In the toolkit, click on and drag in Set x Speed to the bottom of your code editor.
- Click Run. You should see your soccer player bounce horizontally back and forth.

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")
