Help Animating Lines

[DaBigOne]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I am trying to make the stick figure's right arm touch his head.


What is the problem you are having?
Whenever I try to make the coordinate of the arm move upwards to the head, I get a strange triangular shape, and I don't know how how solve this. Also, the delay is slowed down somehow, even though I put in delay (20) for every part of the stick guy's body.


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I've tried to change the values in the for loop, but the only difference I see is different sizes of the same thing.

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
Turing 4.11

Imaging that you are drawing your stick man on a piece of paper using a pencil. You draw his legs, then his body and head and then his arm.
How can you make his arm "move" on the paper. Can you just draw the arm in a different place or do you have to erase the arm and then draw it somewhere else?

The delay seems fine to me, what do you find wrong with it?

Nevermind, it was a nested loop, so it ran slower than I thought it was supposed to. Anyways, I couldn't fix the problem, but I didn't have to include the hand motion for my assignment, so everythings good.

Thanks for the help though, it helped me for making the head move.
