Hi, here is the game: [https://arcade.makecode.com/S35232-16326-05275-76354](https://arcade.makecode.com/S35232-16326-05275-76354)  
I don’t want to copy and paste the same enemy features a thousand times with a different sprite name. So I was wondering how to create a sort of group that would function as a single shared sprite, but where I could place different sprites in different locations on the map.

This function, called Enemigos, spawns enemy sprites at predefined map locations. Here’s a step-by-step explanation:

1. It loops through **each location** from the array of all tilemap locations of a specific tile type (the yellow square).
2. For each location:

- It **creates a new sprite** (an enemy with a skull image) of kind **Enemy**.
- It **places** the enemy sprite exactly **on top of the location** (tile) that was selected.
- It also **sets the tile** at that location to another tile (shown in green), possibly to mark the spot as used or to change its appearance.

This is typically used to automatically populate a map with enemies based on the level design, making it easy to control where enemies appear without manually placing them one by one.

Hope this helps or inspires you!!
