GSOC- 2011 Idea of representing images using sprite sheets.

Description

Sajal- Implementation of images using spritesheets

The idea is to implement a spritesheet for loading images instead of individual png images.Basically, the idea is to design two seperate spritesheet - one for the characters and the other for objects in the environment.It would be flexible and have multiple-sized images.

The 2 spritesheets would be a large png image. If possible,a tool to merge images into a spritesheet would be created, so as to skip the "copy-paste" process . This will also enable other users to add the characters of their choice- which they could design via photoshop/other image-editing programs.

IDEA

I am a student of Computer engineering and passionate about game developing. I am developing my own game as a college project in C++ using SDL libraries. I have too implemented the spritesheets in my project as to animate the objects. Using the spritesheets, decreases your loading time appreciably. This would be noticeable on running games on mobile OS platforms such as Android.
