IMO these are a horrible waste of memory unless you are making 96 of them for a game (96 8x8 sprites can fit into a single picture variable). But a sprite is basically a set of data representing a small picture that can be easily manipulated (moved about the screen). The ship you fly in phoenix is one example is a sprite, as are all the enemies. |
