Sprite

Definitions

1. A two-dimensional bitmap image or animation integrated into a larger scene, historically used in video games for characters and objects, and in web development as sprite sheets to reduce HTTP requests.

   In plain English: A small 2D image — like a game character or icon — that gets drawn on screen, often combined into a single image file for efficiency.

   Example: "The character sprite sheet has 16 frames of walk animation in a single PNG."
