+# 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.
