Read the commands to learn the options.

Creating the simple "flames char" animation inspired me to read all the code options in the various sections in Scratch.  That gave me some other ideas for animations as well as some ideas for optimizing and changing my flames animation. That was fun!

Next I animated "floods drown" and decided to make the letters in 'drown' float as the letters in the word "floods" touched them.  I did it by creating a separate sprite for each letter and then using the wait command to animate the letters one by one. The animation is simply setting its position up right, then rotating a little to the left & right.
