I’m confused with this. I know I’ve been asking a lot of questions recently but I really like Javascript and want to learn more about it. So how do I position a text sprite in the TextSprite extension? (and no I do not mean @richard 's extension, I mean the built-in one)

You position the text sprite like a regular sprite.

Yep, a text sprite is also a regular sprite. All sprite blocks will work for text sprites.

Note that this only goes one way: text sprite blocks do not work with regular sprites.
