Unit 3 Lesson 22 - using sprite as a background

[bseabolt]

I have several students who are using a sprite background and we can not figure out where to place the code so that any of the game shows on the background. How do you use a sprite as a background?

There have been a couple of forum posts relative to this. Check out these and see if any of them answer your question. I know it can be done, but these may have some good examples.

Text and Background Sprites

Is there a way to have text appear on top of a background sprite?

Sprites as backgrounds

@rlhauptman5 Hi Robyn, showScore() and showLives() need to come after drawSprites() in the draw loop. Otherwise, the background sprite will cover up the text that they draw.

Change background image(animation) when score reaches a number

Also, it looks like sharing permissions might not be turned on for your student. For students under 13, the default is not to allow them to share Game Lab projects. Teachers can edit this setting in the teacher dashboard. Elizabeth
