I have a student that used a background image instead of a tilemap and now has some issues with the funtionality of his game. Is it possible to change the background image into a tilemap to address the issues?

Honestly I don’t really see anything wrong with it…  
Could you specify the issues in question?

The student has tile overlap blocks set up in his code for the sprite to go to different bonus rooms. However, because he has a background, the sprite isn’t going over these tiles. We thought that making the background image into a tilemap could fix the issue.
