A sprite is a raster-based graphic in a two-dimensional application which provides a user with a Graphical User Interface, for ease in his or her interpretation of data. Creation of sprites is known as spriting.
Usage
Sprites are a common graphic aspect of two-dimensional games, along with vectors. Its three-dimensional counterpart is the particle, and they may be used as textures on a model.
When a number of sprites are grouped together to form one image, it is known as a "sprite sheet". These sheets are especially useful for people who want to use a sprite but don't have a Clickteam product to view Klik Libraries. Good sprite sheets aim to have as many animations as possible to complete it.
Trivia
- There are a number of different "spriting styles" created by members, other spriters of from games. Some styles however are frowned upon, like using pillow shading or gradients.
