Project 442: Infinite Flying Game

10. (Optional) Add a trail effect behind your hero

Adding visual effects helps make the game feel more polished. How could you add in a little trail behind your hero?
Starting point file for this challenge

Your goal

Hint: show steps

Steps

1. Create a new sprite to be a fire, smoke or laser "particle"

Particles are like little bits of something bigger. So if you're drawing fire, you don't need to draw the whole blast - just draw a little bit of the blast. 

2. Clone this new sprite forever

Using past steps as a hint, how would make this sprite clone itself forever? 

3. Set the clones up to start at your hero's position, and on a layer behind it

We need the purple block "go to back layer" otherwise the trail will look like it's on top of your hero. Can you make the fire look like it's coming out the back of your hero instead of in the middle of your hero? 

4. Make the clone fly backwards and give it some effects

You'll need a "repeat ___ " block for this. Play around in the purple looks blocks for some effects!  

5. Delete the clone after its done moving

How did we delete the clone last time?
