# Sprites
|
|
|
|
A sprite in computer graphics terms most often refers to an image drawn to the screen in a 2D game. A sprite can be a single image, but quite often you'll want sprites to be animated.

## Drawing Basic Sprites

Drawing a basic sprite with MonoGame can be done using the `SpriteBatch`. First, load a `Texture2D` with the `ContentManager` in the `LoadContent` method.
|
|
|
|
```cs
|
|
protected override void LoadContent()
|
|
{
|
|
_spriteBatch = new SpriteBatch(GraphicsDevice);
|
|
_apple = Content.Load<Texture2D>("apple");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, in the `Draw` method you can draw the texture between the `Begin` and `End` calls of the `SpriteBatch`.
|
|
|
|
```cs
|
|
protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime)
|
|
{
|
|
GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.CornflowerBlue);
|
|
|
|
_spriteBatch.Begin();
|
|
_spriteBatch.Draw(_apple, new Vector2(100, 100), Color.White);
|
|
_spriteBatch.End();
|
|
|
|
base.Draw(gameTime);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Drawing sprites directly from the `Texture2D` can be useful in certain scenarios, like drawing backgrounds, but it can be quite limiting when you want to do animations.
