Sprite sheet

A sprite sheet is a depiction of various sprites arranged in one image, detailing the exact frames of animation for each character or object by way of layout. These are either procured from still images of a game or created originally for use in sprite cartoons or video games.Sprite sheets are also used to store tiles for tile based video games.

Applications

Sprite sheets are used in two dimensional video games, like most Mobile games. They are also used for Flash animation where some people rip them from the game itself. This is mostly done using Nintendo or other game system emulators and then taking screenshots. Others custom-make sprite sheets with graphics programs such as Photoshop, Microsoft Paint or specialised tools like Graphics Gale or Tile Studio.
