Hi!

Here are some partial answers:
1. Check the Horse race sample or tutorial. Tell me if your question is not
covered. I'm not sure I understand your question.
2. place the turtle where you want and type this in the command center: show
pos
3. launch the sound and then do the animation. Here are two examples

to test
launch [vivaldi]
repeat 50 [dothis dothat]
end

or

to test
launch [vivaldi]
t5, clickon
waituntil [done? [vivaldi]]
t5, clickoff
end

assuming that t5 has a "forever" mode clickon instruction in its backpack

4. ht is the command (hide turtle). st is the opposite. So, in t1's
backpack, on the Rules tab, in the OnTouch field, type react. In the
Procedures tab of that backpack, write the "react" procedure

to react
ask touchedturtle [ht]
...whatever else you want to do...
end

I have a 6th grade class learning microworld basics and we are
creating final projects and we are stuck with the following
questions.

1. In a horse race game with 4 turtles, how do we do a random
command to make them all move at the same time?

2. How do we find setpos (x and y coordinates) for turtles?

3. How do we combine sound with a button to make a person sing and
move together?

4. How do you make one turtle disappear when another turtle touches
it and reset it?

Thank you!
