Sprite Sheet

Sprite sheets combine multiple frames of an animation sequence into one graphic file. Software increments the X and Y pixel coordinates, within the graphic file, to display frames in order. Sprite sheet software displays individual frames within a sprite sheet based on canvas mouse or touch points.

As you move your finger, or mouse, across the display screen, code calculates which frame to display.

Learn to prepare sprite sheets with the Kindle book, HTML5 Sprite Sheets.
