I have a student shows score isn’t showing. I have a lot of students wanting to do background sprites instead of draing backgrounds. Does that have something to do with it?

The scoreShow() function call needs to come after the drawSprites() function call.

If you want us to look at it, please send us a share link and we’re happy to take a look.

But yes, sprites are drawn in order and if the drawSprites block is at the end, it can cover up text.
