Sprites

A sprite is a `.gs` file in the root of the project directory, all other `.gs` files (which are inside sub-directories of the project directory, or outside of the project directory, are not sprites.) are header files.

Properties

Sprite properties can be set using statements similar to blocks which set those properties at runtime.

!!! note These statements are top-level, outside any declaration block.
