## Behavior

On the canvas, it's possible to make a sprite either draggable or to have it fixed in position.

Similarly, it's possible for other sprites to pass through a sprite, or it can be made impassable. 

Finally, if a sprite is moving, it's possible to programatically cause it to stop moving. 

### Set Draggable or Passable 

![](/files/-MABiY0QramOw-TbZMCP)

Set the draggability or passability of the sprit

### Get Draggable or Passable

![](/files/-MABj6A6rTza8GGAlTiI)

### Stop All Sprites

![](/files/-MABjHA0ksFB-362fv06)

Stop all sprites that are moving.

## Examples

### Move Sprite to Pointer

When the user clicks on the canvas these blocks will move the `Sprite1` to the location that was touched.
