o The sprite saying “come and find me” – or something similar
o The sprite appearing and then disappearing on the screen (hint: instead of having the sprite “move” think about having the sprite appear at a certain location (x and y), stay for a bit and then move to a new location)
o If the user clicks on the sprite, something different should happen
