Move it

Key concepts: Gestures, gesture handler

Resources

• React Native Gesture Handler

Challenge

This is the second challenge. We’ll want to move slimy across the screen, as shown in the video.

But there are some new things to consider:

→ When we tap him, he blinks. So no more “Open eyes button”.

→ Also, when we move him, he gets scared and closes his eyes. He opens them again when we release him.

💡 TIPS && HINTS:

• You’ll need to use a gesture handler.
• You’ll need to combine two gestures, one for the dragging and one for the tapping.
• You’ll need to save the previous position to be able to start from where you left off. Maybe an (x, y) shared value can help.

❔ Questions to consider:

• Is it possible to try to make the timing of the eyes more realistic? How?
