:one: What is the different between a simple PNG image and a sprite?

A simple PNG is typically static and is used to showcase an image.
A sprite, however, is often a graphic which has significance in games an web development. Sprites can be made from collections of PNG images which coordinate to have a higher purpose than remain static to solely showcase an image.
An example of this could be a moving character in a game which appears differently when it dies, or is alive coming to attack your player.
The sprite will typically have multiple different looks depending on the state of the game.
