Parsing Spritesheets

This tutorial will show you how you can grab a specific region from a spritsheet and store it in a Texture2D. It will also cover how you can use loops to automate grabbing all aligned sections of a spritesheet and storing them in a loop.

There is also a link to a tutorial that does this, but uses the regions to make an animation.

Spritesheets

This tutorial will show how you can use a spritesheet and animate with it by specifying mulitople regions:

The tutorial I made will cover how you can use Rectangles to load in specific regions of a spritesheet into individual Testure2Ds, and how it can be automated using loops if the spritesheet items are aligned.
