A tiny extension that adds the missing blocks to print text to an image.

Great! But it would be nice to have the function in inline-mode  
So it would look like this:

Thanks, great!  
Shouldn´t it be better to add “let mySprite = sprites.create(i, SpriteKind.Player)” in the Javascript examples?

Probably should… it does not decompile time blocks, not sure why.

I think there might be a problem with the Print text extension, when I tried to use it it told me to delete textsprites I said no then I had like 5 bugs like Variable deletion Function Deletion and Spritekind Deletion. Just thought to let you all know.

This is because they have the same name. You can use `woofwoofcodes/pxt-javascript-extras` instead.
