I currently have two buttons that say left and right, and I want them to move a square object left and right respectively.

What its currently doing when i press left is moving the square to the left, and if I press left again, it resets from the center and goes left.

I want it so that when I press left, from where ever it is currently to go left and right.

I know the principle is something like get current objects position and add the canvas coordinates respectively but how do I do this?
