TileSprite

A TileSprite is a Sprite that has a repeating texture.

The texture can be scrolled and scaled independently of the TileSprite itself. Textures will automatically wrap and

are designed so that you can create game backdrops using seamless textures as a source.

You shouldn't ever create a TileSprite any larger than your actual canvas size. If you want to create a large repeating background

that scrolls across the whole map of your game, then you create a TileSprite that fits the canvas size and then use the tilePosition

property to scroll the texture as the player moves. If you create a TileSprite that is thousands of pixels in size then it will

consume huge amounts of memory and cause performance issues. Remember: use tilePosition to scroll your texture and tileScale to

adjust the scale of the texture - don't resize the sprite itself or make it larger than it needs.

An important note about Tile Sprites and NPOT textures: Internally, TileSprite textures use GL_REPEAT to provide

seamless repeating of the textures. This, combined with the way in which the textures are handled in WebGL, means

they need to be POT (power-of-two) sizes in order to wrap. If you provide a NPOT (non power-of-two) texture to a

TileSprite it will generate a POT sized canvas and draw your texture to it, scaled up to the POT size. It's then

scaled back down again during rendering to the original dimensions. While this works, in that it allows you to use

any size texture for a Tile Sprite, it does mean that NPOT textures are going to appear anti-aliased when rendered,

due to the interpolation that took place when it was resized into a POT texture. This is especially visible in

pixel art graphics. If you notice it and it becomes an issue, the only way to avoid it is to ensure that you

provide POT textures for Tile Sprites.

Constructor

new TileSprite(scene, x, y, width, height, textureKey, [frameKey])
