Thoughts on Best Way to Render Game Pieces: sprites vs SVGs vs…

Hi! As part of the Data Chefs initiative, I’m working on a project to explore creating a series of team dashboards that are more like gameboards. For pieces on the gameboards-as-dashboards, any thoughts about how to decide what p5js technique to use for creating them — eg, using sprites vs SVGs vs jpg icons vs something else.

For example, our pilot project is about a group of shipwrecked kitten and puppy pirates who are trying to explore islands to find parts to build ships to find their way home. So we’ll need game pieces for individual pirates, ships, caskets of cream, pirate hats, stale bagels, etc.
