What are the differences between making `Sprite` with instantiating `Texture` first and with instantiating `Texture` at all?

[notalentgeek]

These codes below:

const bunnyTexture = new Texture.from('bunny.png');
const bunnySprite = new Sprite(bunnyTexture);

And these codes below:

const bunnySprite = Sprite.from('bunny.png');

Both codes seem do the same thing.... What are the differences? What is the best practice? Are the one is better than the other one on certain cases, etc..

You'll get the same result in doing both. If you were gonna reuse that texture in other Sprites later on, it might be handy to have a reference to it? Otherwise I'd use the 2nd because it's quicker to type
