How to make a sprite rotate with PixiJS

In this example the code initialises a PixiJS application with the dimensions of the window, sets a background color, and appends the application's view to the document body. It creates a sprite from an image file, centers its anchor point, positions it at the center of the screen, and adds it to the stage. Finally, it sets up animation for the sprite's rotation using PixiJS's ticker.

How to make a sprite bounce off the sides with PixiJS

Create a PixiJS application, initialise a game size based on the window dimensions, and set a background color. Then create a sprite from an image file, position it at the center of the screen, and add it to the stage. Define movement parameters for the sprite and set up animation using PixiJS's ticker. The sprite rotates and moves across the screen, bouncing off the edges when it reaches them.

How to make a sprite glow with a mouseover in PixiJS

This example shows how to create a PixiJS application with a specified width and height, along with a background color. It then creates a sprite from an image file and positions it at the center of the screen. Additionally, it enables interactivity with the sprite, triggering a glow effect when the mouse hovers over it and removing the effect when the mouse moves away.

How to make a sprite stretch with PixiJS

This example creates a PixiJS application with a specified width and height, sets a background color, and appends it to the document body.
