# Sprite

A sprite is an object that splits an image into several cells. It is primarily
designed to combine multiple related images into one for better performance and
easier usage.

Sprites are mostly used as character design, some GUI elements, map tilesets
and other data that require lots of related images.

Sprites can be created natively in C++, Javascript or using the resource loader
with an appropriate JSON description.
