There have been a few inquiries lately that involved using snap-to-grid as possible solutions.

Here is a discussion of snap-to-grid at the Scratch Wiki: http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Snap_to_Grid

This demo project uses a checkerboard and checker piece to demonstrate the concept of snap-to-grid with App Inventor blocks.

The > YouTube video < describes in detail how snap-to-grid works for this project.

Good tutorial. I saw it and commented on YouTube regarding what I am attempting to do. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/mitappinventortest/snap$20to$20grid$20no$20cannibalism/mitappinventortest/SEir0D_EjW0/o0wAGD_37EkJ will direct you to the pics I created to show what I have so far.

The question is: How does one have a sprites snap to grid and not be cannibalized (having sprites permanently joined together) on the same canvas (fyi - I used the placeholder)

PICS ARE BELOW
