Um... that's a really bad definition. Sprites are non-static objects. Enemies are usually sprites, the characters, stuff like that. That's what I wrote. cut & pasted from some webpage. "Sprite A graphic image that can move within a larger graphic. Animation software that supports sprites enables the designer to develop independent animated images that can then be combined in a larger animation. Typically, each sprite has a set of rules that define how it moves and how it behaves if it bumps into another sprite or a static object."

I lost it after A graphic image that can move within a larger graphic. Ok reading on... you know this can possibly be the MOST CONFUSING WAY TO DEFINE A SPRITE. My def: SN][P3R's definition of a sprite: A sprite is an image which represents something in the game. WTF? I lost it after A graphic image that can move within a larger graphic.

A sprite is an object that you can interact with in some way. A chair, a rock or another character. Backgrounds are images and I think you can call floors and ceilings background objects.
