making my first video game

[Thomas McGrath III]

In an old SC stack I broke down the collective movements of mutliple 
object that needed to move.

Instead of
move object 1 from 0,0 to 50,50 end and then
move object 2 from 0,0 to 40,40 end etc.

  I tried a script where:
repeat this list until all moves are done
move object 1 from 0,0 to 10,10
move object 2 from 0,0 to 9,9
move object 1 from 10,10 to 20,20
move object 2 from 10,10 to 19,19

the concept worked ok in SC
