How to distinguish between two of the same sprites?

[spacely_j]

in unity they have tags, is there something i can do similarly?

 

player = game.add.sprite(10, 30, 'BlueSquare');

player.tag = blue;

 

player = game.add.sprite(50, 90, 'RedSquare');

player.tag = red;

 

something like that?

player.name = 'red';
