    group.setAnimationEach("alienPink_1");
  }
  else {
        group.setAnimationEach("alienBlue_1");
  }
}

Tips

  • Groups of sprites all have the same functions and you use the dot notation (combining the name of the group, followed by a dot, with the function name) to call the function for that group of sprites.
  • Any changes to the properties of a sprite will not be seen until after drawSprites() is called.
