My student wants to create a background using assets. Does anyone know if this feature is available in GameLab?

Kristen,

I’m not quite sure what you mean - do you mean your students wants to create a background using the animations provided? You can do that by adding any sprite to the animation tab and then creating/setting/and drawing that sprite outside of the draw loop so it is done underneath the other sprites. There is even a section for “backgrounds” when you add an animation.

Does that help? Let me know and I look forward to solving this together!
