on adjustFixedRate(whichSprite, adjustType, howMuch)
   case adjustType of
      #faster:
         sprite(whichSprite).fixedRate = sprite(whichSprite).fixedRate + howMuch
      #slower:
         sprite(whichSprite).fixedRate = sprite(whichSprite).fixedRate - howMuch
   end case
end

// JavaScript syntax
function adjustFixedRate(whichSprite, adjustType, howMuch) {
   switch(adjustType) {
      case "faster":
         sprite(whichSprite).fixedRate = sprite(whichSprite).fixedRate + 
howMuch;
         break;
      case "slower":
         sprite(whichSprite).fixedRate = sprite(whichSprite).fixedRate - 
howMuch;
