Types/Sprite

Basics

Specifies one picture that can be used in the game.

When there is more than one sprite or animation frame with the same source file and dimensions/position in the game, they all share the same memory.

Mandatory properties

filename

Type: Types/FileName

Default: ""

Technically optional, but path to sprite cannot be empty.

width

Type: Types/SpriteSizeType

Width of the picture in pixels, from 0-8192.

height

Type: Types/SpriteSizeType

Height of the picture in pixels, from 0-8192.

Optional properties

layers

Type: Types/table of Types/Sprite

If this property is present, all Sprite definitions have to be placed as entries in the array, and they will all be loaded from there. Each item (Sprite definition) in the array may also have the layers property.

If this property is present, all other properties are ignored and the mandatory properties do not have to be defined.

slice

Type: Types/SpriteSizeType

slice_x

Type: Types/SpriteSizeType

slice_y

Type: Types/SpriteSizeType

priority

Type: Types/string

Default: "medium"

Possible values:

• "extra-high-no-scale"
• "extra-high"
• "high"
• "medium"
• "low"
• "very-low"

x

Type: Types/SpriteSizeType

     priority = "extra-high",
     width = 124,
     height = 103,
     shift = {0.7, -0.2}
   }
