  Sprite (computer graphics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer graphics, a sprite is a two-dimensional image or animation that is integrated into a larger scene.
Sprites were originally invented as a method of quickly compositing several images together in two-dimensional video games using special hardware.
Software sprites were used to refer to subroutines that used bit blitting to accomplish the same goal on systems such as the Atari ST and the Apple II whose graphics hardware had no sprite capability.

 Red Sprites and Blue Jets
The optical intensity of sprite clusters, estimated by comparison with tabulated stellar intensities, is comparable to a moderately bright auroral arc.
If sprites are only barely detectable by the unaided human eye, in intensified television images obtained from the ground and from aircraft they appear as dazzlingly complex structures that assume a variety of forms.
This research on red sprites and blue jets is being conducted by researchers at the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

The meteorological context of sprites and elves is illustrated in figure 1.
ELF measurements also indicate that C sprites are caused by small charge moments, whereas the large angel or A-bomb sprites are associated with the largest charge moments and, presumably, with the greatest charge transfers in any terrestrial lightning flash.
Sprites and elves are a grand natural manifestation of ideas and laboratory experiments conceived many decades ago by Rayleigh, Thomson, Wilson, and Langmuir--all of whom won Nobel prizes--and by a host of 19th century glow discharge tube spectroscopists.

The methods to add and remove sprites from groups are smart enough to not delete sprites that aren't already part of a group, and not add sprites to a group if it already exists.
The sprite class is meant to be used as a base class for the objects in your game.
The sprite still exists after calling this, so you could use it to remove a sprite from all groups, and then add it to some other groups.

 Modeling Sprite Animation by Diana Gruber
The offsets are used to adjust the position of the sprite, and are useful with things like explosions, which must be centered around a midpoint, rather than displayed from a corner.
The sprite image changes as the sprite moves, and may represent a sprite as walking, running, or shooting, for example.
It causes the sprite to move (by changing the object's x and y coordinates), it checks for collisions, it may spawn new objects or kill off old ones, but most importantly, the action function determines what the object will do in the next frame.

 A List Apart: Articles: CSS Sprites: Image Slicing’s Kiss of Death
Hundreds and later thousands of small graphics called sprites were the building blocks for all things visual in a game.
One variation saw sprites being plugged into a master grid, then later pulled out as needed by code that mapped positions of each individual graphic, and selectively painted them on the screen.
Replacing the sprite imagery is dead simple, since all of our dimensions and offsets are controlled in a single CSS file, and all of our imagery sits in a single image.
