Why won't my 2D Sprite Move?

Question

I put in a basic movement code, and now the sprite just barely moves, and I have no idea what's wrong. The code I used is below...`[SerializeField] private float _speed = 3.6f;

 void Update()
 {
     transform.position = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);

     float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
     float verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
     Vector3 direction = new Vector3(horizontalInput, verticalInput, 0);
     transform.Translate(direction * _speed * Time.deltaTime);
 }`

You are resetting the position back to 0,0,0 at the start of each update cycle, so you are only going to se a slight movement then trying to move.

Eliminate that first line, and you should be moving just fine.

Hope this helps, -Larry
