# Objective
Add `bevy_picking` sprite backend as part of the `bevy_mod_picking`
upstreamening (#12365).
## Solution
More or less a copy/paste from `bevy_mod_picking`, with the changes
[here](https://github.com/aevyrie/bevy_mod_picking/pull/354). I'm
putting that link here since those changes haven't yet made it through
review, so should probably be reviewed on their own.
## Testing
I couldn't find any sprite-backend-specific tests in `bevy_mod_picking`
and unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with Bevy's testing patterns
to write tests for code that relies on windowing and input. I'm willing
to break the pointer hit system into testable blocks and add some more
modular tests if that's deemed important enough to block, otherwise I
can open an issue for adding tests as follow-up.
## Follow-up work
- More docs/tests
- Ignore pick events on transparent sprite pixels with potential opt-out

# Objective
This is the first of a series of PRs intended to begin the upstreaming
process for `bevy_mod_picking`. The purpose of this PR is to:
+ Create the new `bevy_picking` crate
+ Upstream `CorePlugin` as `PickingPlugin`
+ Upstream the core pointer and backend abstractions.
This code has been ported verbatim from the corresponding files in
[bevy_picking_core](https://github.com/aevyrie/bevy_mod_picking/tree/main/crates/bevy_picking_core/src)
with a few tiny naming and docs tweaks.
The work here is only an initial foothold to get the up-streaming
process started in earnest. We can do refactoring and improvements once
this is in-tree.
