sprites
Sprites are typically defined in two ways based on their context: 1) In computer graphics: Sprites are 2D graphics or bitmap images that are incorporated into a larger scene, such as an animated character in a video game. They are typically used in old 2D video games or website design to create moving characters, background objects, or other elements that have simple animations. 2) In atmospheric physics: Sprites are large-scale electrical discharges occurring high above thunderstorm clouds, or cumulonimbus, giving rise to a quite varied range of visual shapes. They are triggered by the discharges of positive lightning between the thundercloud and the ground.
