How to make a static image dynamic in MATLAB App Designer?

Hi, I am trying to make a game in MATLAB App Designer and for this game, which basically looks similar to asteroids, I want to have images that move dynamically. In order to do so, I tried to create different positions for this image by using the 'rand' code (for random outputs). However, I am not sure whether this is feasible and I want to make this position time-dependent (so that for instants, the image is in the left-bottom of your screen for t=5s, and then changes to somewhere on the right for a few seconds, etc. etc.). This should act as an astroid which takes random places on your screen, but instead I would like to use the image.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

This can be achieved by pausing the execution for some time by using pause, steps I followed are as follows

1)Add an image to the app

2)Add a button to the app and update the callback function of the button as follows

function ButtonPushed(app, event)% number of times the image position is being updated
          for i=1:10
            randomNumber1=randi(300);% creates a integer between 1 to 300
            randomNumber2=randi(300);
            app.Image.Position=[randomNumber1  randomNumber2  100   100];%updating position of Image
            pause(5)% pauses the execution for 5 seconds and
                    % pause time can be randomized by using random
          end
  end
