Sprite Animation comes from the classic paper flip animation concept. In Sprite Animation, two or more images get rendered sequentially in a continuous manner which, in turn, gives an animated single object.
Example:
-
A sprite sheet consists of multiple frames (also sprites) in one image.
-
In other words, sprite sheets pack multiple sprites into a single picture.
-
Using sprite sheet, you create sprite sheet animation representing one or - several animation sequences while only loading a single file.
-
Sprite sheet animation changes which frame/sprite is rendered in quick succession to give the illusion of movement.
