# Create Sprite
Create a new LED sprite pointing to the right.
A sprite is like a little LED creature you can tell what to do.
You can tell it to move, turn, and check whether it has bumped
into another sprite.
```sig
game.createSprite(2, 2);
```
## Parameters
* ``x``: The left-to-right place on the LED screen where the sprite will start out.
* ``y``: The top-to-bottom place on the LED screen where the sprite will start out.
`0` and `4` mean the edges of the screen, and `2` means in the middle.
## Example
This program starts a sprite in the middle of the screen.
Next, the sprite turns toward the lower-right corner.
Finally, it moves two LEDs away to the corner.
```blocks
let item = game.createSprite(2, 2);
item.turn(Direction.Right, 45);
item.move(2);
```
