avoid a split-second jump of the guardian when entering the screen, I
would also suggest setting the initial vertical position value to 186.
An alternative approach would be to create an unmoving horizontal
guardian. There is no difference between a motionless horizontal
guardian and a motionless vertical guardian, I think, although the
latter is better to use, because you can place it several times in the
same room, at different horizontal positions, which you cannot do with
a motionless horizontal guardian.
