group.create(400, 300, ‘phaser’);
//  The above is a short-cut for:
//  var sprite = this.add.sprite(400, 300, 'phaser');
//  group.add(sprite);

Sprite pool example

Group createCallback

group = this.add.group({
defaultKey: ‘alien’,
maxSize: 100,
createCallback: function (alien) {
alien.setName(‘alien’ + this.getLength());
console.log(‘Created’, alien.name);
},
removeCallback: function (alien) {
console.log(‘Removed’, alien.name);
}

this.time.addEvent({
delay: 100,
loop: true,
callback: addAlien
});

group.children.iterate

// Find first inactive sprite in group or add new sprite, and set position
const alien = group.get(x, y);
