| Jun 12, 2012 at 14:05 | comment | added | horatio | Look into it more. It can certainly refer to an animation of 1 frame, but sprites and sprite support were developed to handle movable items. | |

There would be a sprite for standing still, two for running, one for jumping... etc etc. Toghther they can be made/simulated into an animation. | |
