We are trying to make 3 sprites appear on the screen so we can edit their size and use them in our game. Our project is very simple.

But suddenly, the sprites are not appearing. They’re not invisible, and I checked their watchers and they’re “on” the screen but they don’t show up when you click “Run”. What are we doing wrong?

to clarify you are aware that `drawSprites()` is what actually displays the sprites on the screen right? after that it works for me please further clarify if this is not what you want

First off, welcome to the forum @jyayad ! Your code looks good. You just need to add the draw sprites block in at the end of your function. Happy coding!

Thank you so much! I’ve never used [Code.org](http://Code.org) before this project so I was lost. That fixed everything.

I had no idea about the drawSprites() function. I think the tutorial I was following missed it. Thank you so much! I’ve never used [Code.org](http://Code.org) before this project so I was lost. That fixed everything.
