Learning JAVA with Greenfoot File Getting objects to move and turn

We will learn the basic Greenfoot methods for getting our objects or "actors" to move. Since this is our first day with Greenfoot, here are some helpful hints for navigating: 

Right click on the main Actor and click "New subclass..." to add a new actor 

Right click on any actor's name on the side bar and click "Open editor" to see and edit its code.

Right click on any actor itself once it is on the stage and the scene is paused to see all of the methods running inside of it

Hold SHIFT to drag your actors to the stage

"ACT" will run your code only once

"RUN" will run your code on a LOOP

** If you are typing in Stride, you can click "convert to Java" at any time.
