@pixi/sprite

What is @pixi/sprite?

@pixi/sprite is a module in the PixiJS library that provides functionality for creating and manipulating sprites. Sprites are essential for rendering images and animations in 2D games and applications. This package allows you to create, position, scale, rotate, and animate sprites easily.

What are @pixi/sprite's main functionalities?

Creating a Sprite

This feature allows you to create a sprite from an image path. The sprite can then be added to the stage for rendering.

const sprite = PIXI.Sprite.from('path/to/image.png');

Positioning a Sprite

This feature allows you to set the position of the sprite on the stage. The x and y properties determine the sprite's coordinates.

sprite.x = 100; sprite.y = 150;

Scaling a Sprite

This feature allows you to scale the sprite. The scale property can be set to enlarge or shrink the sprite.

sprite.scale.set(2, 2);

Rotating a Sprite

This feature allows you to rotate the sprite. The rotation property is set in radians.

sprite.rotation = Math.PI / 4;

Animating a Sprite

This feature allows you to animate the sprite. The ticker adds a function that updates the sprite's rotation on each frame.

app.ticker.add((delta) => { sprite.rotation += 0.01 * delta; });
