Picking / Sprite Picking

This example is running in WebGL2 and should work in most browsers. You can check the WebGPU examples here.

sprite_picking.rs:
//! Demonstrates picking for sprites and sprite atlases. The picking backend only tests against the
//! sprite bounds, so the sprite atlas can be picked by clicking on its transparent areas.
