I'm wondering if I can use sprite sheets in a single PNG image. In DarkBASIC I was used to chopping up BMP images with the Scroll Object Texture command for fire effects, etc.

To make sprite animations in AppGameKit, do I have to have a completely separate image for each frame?

You can tell agk you have a sprite sheet using SetSpriteAnimation()
You can also have a packed sprite sheet and use LoadSubImage() to extract the image you want
You can search the command reference here. I have always found it to be very helpful

One more thing maybe you can help me with if you have time. I don't understand the iFrameCount parameter. Shouldn't the frame count just be width x height? Is it to just cut off parts at the end?

SetSpriteAnimation( iSpriteIndex, iFrameWidth, iFrameHeight, iFrameCount )
