You can also pretty much use any sprite sheet you find on the internet, as long as it is for your own testing/placeholder in early development.

Be sure to check the scirra.com/forum/tools-resources_forum34.html.

Thank you. I actually did see some of the content you're referring to, I believe, but they didn't quite answer my concern (I tend to look for very specific references...I can be nit-picky like that). They were related, but not exactly what I was after. Though, maybe I just missed such a reference. Ah well, all is good.

Yep, correct. It's just a single image with all the frames laid out in grid fashion. ...

Thank for the confirmation. I actually just finished my very first animation sprite strip and it worked relatively without a hitch (a simple stick man spinning a bo staff...heh). I'm just hoping the Jungle Pack images weren't specific to the tutorial or I'm gonna have some problems...

I don't have access to the Jungle Pack presently, and according to the platform tutorial, it's calling for a particular sprite strip.

This is all rather new to me, so I'm trying not to rush into things and confuse myself. But it suddenly dawned on me that a sprite strip is just a single image file made up of individual frames...correct?

IF correct, then when importing a sprite strip and telling how many rows and columns there are, evenly cut sprites are "created"...also correct?

If it's that simple, then would it be safe to say I can just create my own sprite strip in, say, MS Paint to accommodate for the tutorial's requirements? (I'm trying to not stray from the beaten path lest I mess something up.)

I'm going to go ahead and try this as I suppose, and hopefully someone will have confirmation and/or further suggestions for me.

Thank you!

Good day!

My name is "Rhindon"... I'm an aspiring game developer with minor (but successful) experience writing game programs for the TI-83 graphing calculator.

I have SEVERAL game ideas I hope to develop for the Android phones, and later will branch out onto other platforms. All of my games I hope to infuse with some kind of Christian theme or tone (while not overt, the concept will be a present influence, so you will not likely see specific references to the Bible, etc). It's my goal to provide gamers with an experience that they can take with them even after they have put the game down...something that adds significance, meaning, and even guidance to how they live their lives, and more! (A tall order for a video game, no doubt.)

On top of that, I want to make games that are innovative and require the player to think and plan the best way to proceed.

Personally, I love to study and write on Christian/Biblical topics; I'm a teacher at heart, if not in profession. Of course, I'm a gamer and an avid fan of Nintendo.

Singing, roller skating, bowling, and riding bike trails are other points of interest to me.

Then there are children. I am fascinated by how they see the world as they are learning and growing. I love watching their personalities emerge and are expressed. So much can be learned from kids. They are a delight to my heart whenever they are around.

That's me! <img src="smileys/smiley41.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
