what i will have it to work… it move from one directory to another without jump to Z and Y

var player: SKSpriteNode?

```
override func didMove(to view: SKView) {
    
    self.anchorPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.5, y: 0.5)
    
    player = SKSpriteNode(color: UIColor.cyan, size: CGSize(width: 90, height: 90))
    player?.anchorPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.5, y: 0.5)
    player?.position = CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0)
    
    print("X: \(player?.position.x), Y: \(player?.position.y)")
    self.addChild(player!)
}

override func touchesMoved(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
    for touch in touches{
        let location = touch.location(in: self)
        
        player?.position.x = location.x
        player?.position.y = location.y
        
        print("X: \(player?.position.x), Y: \(player?.position.y)")
    }
}

```
