Since your tablet or iPad doesn’t have a physical keyboard, you’ll use on-screen buttons to complete this task. Wherever the instructions in this lesson mention pressing a key, you’ll need to tap a button on the screen instead. So, while your steps are a little different, you’ll still be able to make everything happen in your project.

So for example, instead of doing either of these:

when [left arrow v] key pressed move (10) steps if < key [left arrow v] pressed? > then move (10) steps end

You need to add an on-screen button (like an arrow sprite) and use this code:

when this sprite clicked move (10) steps

Now, just tap the button on the screen to perform the same action!
