drawSprites()

Displays a group of sprites. If no parameter is specified, draws all sprites in the sketch.

For an animation, drawSprites is usually used along with background() within draw(). The drawing order is determined by the order the sprites were created, which is stored and can be altered in sprite.depth.

Examples

var sprite = createSprite();
drawSprites();

// Animate a spinning square using the draw loop, background, and drawSprites commands.
var sprite = createSprite(200,200);
function draw() {
  background("white");
  sprite.rotation = sprite.rotation + 10;
  drawSprites();
}
