Is it possible to use the Quad feature on sprites? I’ve been playing around with this example:

> **[Phaser - Examples - Basic Quad](https://phaser.io/examples/v3/view/game-objects/quad/basic-quad)**
>
> Desktop and Mobile HTML5 game framework. A fast, free and fun open source framework for Canvas and WebGL powered browser games.

In this example, quads are added like this:

var quad = this.add.quad(300, 300, 'image);

You have to use a Quad game object instead of Sprite. You can’t play frame animations on a Quad, but you can change frames or move it around.
