In [[computer graphics]], a '''sprite''' is a [[Plane (mathematics)|two-dimensional]] [[bitmap]] that is integrated into a larger scene, most often in a 2D [[video game]]. Originally, the term ''sprite'' referred to fixed-sized objects composited together, by hardware, with a background.<ref name=dadgum/> Use of the term has since become more general.
