Array Backed Grid Shown By Sprites

Show how to use a two-dimensional list/array to back the display of a
grid on-screen.

This version makes a grid of sprites instead of numbers

If Python and Arcade are installed, this example can be run from the command line with:
python -m arcade.examples.array_backed_grid_sprites_2
