Creating a Sprite Sheet

This tutorial will teach you about sprite sheets and how they are loaded as well as some information on color.

Let me know what style game we should build with our engine: http://svy.mk/QYKG4b

I will include the final project source when the game is complete, and will update this description with them at a later date.

Used all the code and made sure its exactly the same as Zephyr's yet i get this error (when running it).

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentExcep­tion: input == null! at javax.imageio.ImageIO.read(Unk­nown Source)

Note that when i said i used all the code i obviously put my own names for classes but made them consistent. Please help any1?

TADAAA!

I made a download link for the sprite sheet:

Go to dropbox.com, and paste this behind it:

/u/60012638/SpriteSheet.png

input == null means it has no image to load

im having a similar problem to Draco, except i double checked the name of my image, and i am getting:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentExcep­tion: input == null! at javax.imageio.ImageIO.read(Ima­geIO.java:1348) at gfx.SpriteSheet. init(SpriteSheet.java:25) at game.Game. init (Game.java:40) at game.Game.main(Game.java:30)

Java Result: 1

It means that you're not calling the right file: private SpriteSheet spriteSheet = new SpriteSheet("/sprite_sheet.png­");

Check that the name of the sprite sheet image you made is the same as in the code (between the quotes). That fixed it for me :)
