If you look up "sprite" in a dictionary or on the internet, you ll get references to fairies, Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, and maybe even a bit of pixie dust. That may be what you were thinking when you clicked on the link that brought you here, but this article is about making 2D graphics a little bit more flexible. A sprite, in this article, is a character you want to include in your shoot em up video game, and this Sprite Editor program, along with its classSprite, allows you to take an image off the internet or wherever, cut it up into separate limb components, and then reattach these with flexible hinges that let you rotate each limb separately. You then have yourself a graphics puppet you can program and animate.
