I don't know if there is any confusion here on the terminology of sprites vs. images? But both, while different are trivial to have lots of them on screen at once.

This will be psuedo-code since I'm not at a switch right now...

2 actual images on screen at once:

bill = loadImage("bill")
ben = loadImage("ben")
loop
    clear()
    drawImage(bill, x, y, etc.)
    drawImage(ben, x, y, etc.)
    update()
repeat

2 Sprites on screen at once:

bill_img = loadImage("bill")
ben_img = loadImage("ben")
bill = createSprite()
ben = createSprite()
setSpriteImage(bill, bill_img)
setSpriteImage(ben, ben_img)

loop
    clear()
    setSpriteLocation(bill, x, y)
    setSpriteLocation(ben, x, y)
    updateSprites()
    drawSprites()
    update()
repeat

Again, none of those functions have complete arguments, or the right arguments, please look the commands up in the help.

But that's two differemt methods of getting 2 "sprites" on screen at once - most programs have many on screen at once. There are other ways too because you can create your own images in code and you can also draw images onto another image which is then ultimately rendered to the frame buffer.

I got to grips with it last night with them both controlled simultaneously:) this will also help so I can tidy up my code thanks man
