so when i go from the game menu to battle, sprites show, but when i switch the gmae from “game” to “battle” no sprites show up even though there is the code there to make sprites, this happens with every sprite, text, statusbars, etc, and idk why, HALP

@richard i think you made the multigame extension, so maybe you would know?

@Jedi I guess I did make that extension at some point but I have no memory of doing so! The issue here is that you’re not moving the camera when you switch the current game. Try centering the camera on the sprite you’re spawning in that “on start” event.

I recently started working on a new extension that serves the same role as multigame, but probably works a bit better:

> **[GitHub - riknoll/arcade-state-transitions: A minimal state machine extension...](https://github.com/riknoll/arcade-state-transitions)**
>
> A minimal state machine extension for Microsoft MakeCode Arcade - riknoll/arcade-state-transitions

This is the one I’ll be updating going forward, so let me know if you have any feedback!
