This loop comes in handy when placing sprites over a tile in a tilemap.

Here is an example by @jwunderl that shows this use case: [https://arcade.makecode.com/02723-14827-63089-78067](https://arcade.makecode.com/02723-14827-63089-78067)

It’s also useful when you want to control a singular sprite that has many duplicates.
