cocos2d-xsprite-sheetatlas

In cocos2d-x, what is difference between atlas and sprite-sheet?

I'm new to cocos2d-x game development engine

but I don't understand what is the difference between Atlas and sprite-sheet.

are they the same thing or not?

Solution

  • Atlas is like a generic object if you want to render fast a grouped of images from a single image file like, bitmap labels, spritesheet, multi-image particle, etc.

    SpriteSheet is one of those objects that uses functionality of Atlas to render its images fast.
