Just that. Thanks.

Depends on the context

An "entity" is a thing. Usually in game engines, every object in the world is an "entity".

A "sprite" is a 2d image. Some game engines might have a sprite-entity, which is a thing that can be drawn using a picture.

Well, both are fairly abstract terms, so there isn't strictly a definition of either.

Generally a sprite is a visual object drawn to the screen, often a single texture or image contains multiple sprites ( called a spritesheet ). Sprites can represent the visual representation of all kinds of things... the score, the player, enemies in the world, etc...

Entity generally is at a higher level. Let's take PacMan as an example, there might be a dozen sprites repesenting PacMan in his various frames of animation. The Entity would be PacMan itself, but in addition to graphic information, it could also hold values like number of lives remaining, current facing direction, current frame of animation, etc.

So should I mantain these concepts separated? Or for the sake of simplicity, can I manage them together?. I mean if I could "mix" graphics issues with game object logic...

Definitely separate. While an entity may have a sprite, the doesn't mean all entities will be sprites, nor necisarily that all entities will even have a sprite and quite possibly an entity will have a number of sprites..

At the end of the day though, entity is whatever you make it, if you choose to use such a class at all. ( While sprite has a pretty well defined meaning, and shouldn't really be used to be anything other than a 2d image ).

Typically, and as simply as possible: These terms can and will be redefined, reused, and used interchangeably by other users and any engines.

In pong, the paddles and the ball are entities. A paddle entity would consist of a size and a position. The ball entity would be a size, position, and a velocity.

The sprites are the images that are drawn to the screen to represent those entities visually.

*Sprites are also soft-drinks and fairy like creatures.

And how can i managed sprites and entities in separated way? I think I need to read some resources about entities, and how interconnect it with sprites.
