We will first draw our background using a drawing sprite, instead of the editor. Say we want our background to contain a special rectangular area that is called HAPPY ZONE-whenever a sprite enter that area it will stay happy. To do so, we will make use of a drawing sprite.

This is great! I didn't know about the feature. Thanks for sharing.

Is this part of a lesson plan? I'd be curious to hear of any experiences you or your students have had using this. Seems like there are lots of possibilities!

You are very welcome, Michelle ^_^ This is more of a tip than a lesson. But I've used the same concept in creating the 2D grid background on the stage, for math lessons.
