The order in which your Sprites and Shapes are added to your program determines the overlay that will happen when sprites share a location on the stage.
stage.set_background_color("orange")
# EXAMPLE 1
#The cat and Jack-o-lantern are hidden behind
# the ghost because the ghost is added into the code last
# and is the biggest sprite.
cat = codesters.Sprite("blackcat")
jack = codesters.Sprite("jackolantern")
ghost = codesters.Sprite("ghost")
# Code to explain the example
ghost.say("Example 1")
stage.wait(3)
ghost.say("3 sprites should be displayed")
stage.wait(3)
ghost.say("Where is the cat and jack-o-lantern?")
stage.wait(3)
# Remove Sprites from the Stage for next example
stage.remove_sprite(ghost)
stage.remove_sprite(cat)
stage.remove_sprite(jack)
# EXAMPLE 2
# By changing the order in the program
# the larger ghost is moved to the back and the
# cat moved to the front.
ghost = codesters.Sprite("ghost")
jack = codesters.Sprite("jackolantern")
cat = codesters.Sprite("blackcat")
# Code to Explain the example
ghost.say("Example 2")
stage.wait(3)
ghost.say("By changing the sprite order from largest to smallest")
stage.wait(4)
ghost.say("All of the sprites are visible")
stage.wait(4)
ghost.say("")
# Remove Sprites from the Stage for Example Overview
stage.remove_sprite(ghost)
