Sprites

A Sprite is a two-dimensional image. It always faces the player viewing the sprite -- as you move around a sprite it appears to move, facing you at all times.

This means you must plan careful when deploying sprites -- many sprites will look strange if viewed from the "wrong" angle (for example, fire looks okay when viewed from ground level, but looks wrong when the player is above the fire).

The entity's Angle property determines rotation of the sprite.
