From 19 blocks to 11 blocks is efficient.

Hint: Watch for where you have your Pen Down/Up blocks in the stack. In this case Scratch Cat
was in the corner of the stage and because the Pen Down block was before the Go to x = 0, y = 0
it left a trail on the stage.
Hint: Sometimes when the location of a sprite or the line drawn by a Pen block goes
“mathematically” off the Stage area the coding actions get messed up. Here is an example, the
coding starts a x = 0, y = 50 and goes off at the bottom of the Stage. Remember the y values go
from -180 to 180 (moving up and down on the Stage) and x values go from -240 to 240 (moving
left and right on the Stage).

Here is the same coding stack with ONE difference, the first location is x = 0 and y = 150.
