Sprite Sheet support

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
1

Please support some kind of sprite sheets, we have a lot of animations and therefore a lot of files. Sprite sheets would help a lot.

old:

myAnim = sprite.newAnim{ "img1.png", "img2.png", "img3.png", "img4.png" }

suggestion:

-- create a new sprite sheet  
mySheet = sprite.newSheet("spritesheet1.png");  
  
-- create animations out of a sprite sheet  
myAnim1 = sprite.newSheetAnim{ mySheet, 10,20, 75,75, 12 };  
myAnim2 = sprite.newSheetAnim{ mySheet, 10,95, 50,50, 20 };  
  
function newSheetAnim ( spriteSheet, offsetX, offsetY, spriteWidth, spriteHeight, nrOfFrames) ;

What is a sprite sheet? Some examples:

Yes - but it uses single files. Imagine an animation with 200 frames… 200 files. By using a sprite sheet: 1 file. [import]uid: 3642 topic_id: 693 reply_id: 1383[/import]

imageinsert={}
for i=0,20 do
if(i<10)then
imageinsert[i]=“image000”…i…".png"
else
imageinsert[i]=“image00”…i…".png"
end
end
myAnim= sprite.newAnim(imageinsert)

before that, maybe you can try this. [import]uid: 4992 topic_id: 693 reply_id: 1420[/import]
