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

> [@Sprites as backgrounds](https://forum.code.org/t/sprites-as-backgrounds/11549/5):

> [@Change background image(animation) when score reaches a number](https://forum.code.org/t/change-background-image-animation-when-score-reaches-a-number/23486/6):
