 Let's adjust our game now to use the `Sprite` class instead of just the texture regions.  Replace the contents of *Game1.cs* with the following:

 The key changes in this implementation are:
 
 - The `_slime` and `_bat` members were changed from `TextureRegion`  to `Sprite`.
-- In [**LoadContent**](xref:Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game.LoadContent) the `_slime` and `_bat` sprites are now created using the new `TextureAtlas.CreateSprite` method.

 - In [**Draw**](xref:Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game.Draw(Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GameTime)), the draw calls were updated to use the `Sprite.Draw` method.

+> Notice how even though we increased the scale of both sprites, the bat sprite is still only 10px to the right of the bat.  This is because the `Width` property we created for the `Sprite` class takes into account the scale factor of the sprite as well.

 Try adjusting the various properties available for the slime and the bat sprites to see how they affect the rendering.
