Introduction to Sprite Animations

Sprite Animations are animation clips that are created for 2D assets. There are various ways to create Sprite Animations. One way is to create them from a Sprite Sheet, a collection of Sprites arranged in a grid. The Sprites are then compiled into an Animation Clip that will play each Sprite in order to create the animation, much like a flipbook. Sprite Animations can also be created by using keyframe animation in Unity, via the Animation window.

Applying 2D Colliders for Physics Interactions - 2019.3

For assets in a 2D project to have a physical presence in the Scene and be able to interact with each other, they must have a Collider 2D. A Collider 2D is a component that helps define an asset’s physical shape to determine how it will interact with other Colliders in a Scene. It does this via a built-in physics engine. In this tutorial, we’ll cover types of Collider 2D’s and how to apply them.
