Sprite

The Sprite is a built-in Phaser object type: Phaser.GameObjects.Sprite. It is like the Image type, but also it can play sprite animations. This means, that you may use a Sprite object only if it will be animated in the game, otherwise, the better is to use an Image.

A Sprite is created in code using the sprite factory. This is how the scene compiler generates the code of a Sprite:

const player = this.add.sprite(192, 512, "dragon-atlas", "idle-000");

To create a Sprite object, you can:

• Drop a Sprite built-in block on the scene:

  

• Drop an animation block on the scene:

  

• Or you can convert an Image or TileSprite into a Sprite.
