I think this is a problem of my sync() but unsure, so thought I'd ask you folks if anyone can nudge me.

Basically, I want a sprite in every position that I have in an array, currently my code only prints the last element in the array, whereas I want the sprite to remain static, so every array element should be displaying a sprite.

Any ideas how I can make the sprites remain static?

This is your code modified to work. I replaced your circle with a plain sprite just for ease of testing the code.

The main issue is that you only ever created one sprite. So when you went through the array, you simply moved a single sprite around the screen, then synced it at the last position.

I've also replaced your 2 arrays with one typed array. This allows the numerous sprites you need to be saved alongside their coordinates.

The "need x and y coordinates" workaround I've been using


etc

It's mean time. *averages*
