popupid: sprite](Engine) A flat image that has a 3D position and size, but no spacial orientation. When placed in maps, it has the effect of a 2D image that always faces the player. Sprites are commonly placed in maps using: env_sprite env_glow cycler cycler_sprite See Also: Generating Rain using Sprites. See Also: Generating Steam using Sprites.

An image that can be move independently on a screen without affecting the background.
Sprites are graphics (pictures) that can be moved around the screen. They are frequently used in games (spaceships, bullets and characters are all usually sprites) because they can be moved around quickly and easily and can be any shape or size. TNT Basic has in-built support for sprites and allows you to do special effects with them too. Sprite Commands Sprites Tutorial
An animated image, a sprite is defined once and is then animated by commands that change its position or appearance.
Animated images that form objects or characters in 2D games. These were used in most video games until the PlayStation popularized 3-D, polygon graphics.
A small graphic drawn independently of the rest of the screen.
A small graphic that can be moved independently around the screen, producing animated effects.
A graphics object that moves freely between screens.
A bitmap of an arbitrary shape that can be moved across complex backgrounds without flicker or damage to the background image.

A two dimensional image, often with transparent areas, that is drawn to the screen to represent some in-game object.
In dynamics, a render type that displays a texture image or image sequence at each particle. At any given particle, the texture image or image sequence displayed can be identical to or different from those at other particles. Depending on the type of texture image used, sprites can be used to create effects such as smoke, clouds, fog, or stars. A sprite appears as a small rectangle until a texture image is mapped to it. The image faces the camera directly regardless of the camera's position or orientation.
In computer graphics, a sprite (also known by other names; see Synonyms below) is a two-dimensional or animation that is integrated into a larger scene.
