Creates a sprite object based on an image file containing a sprite or a spritesheet.

To create a new Sprite just pass the image name as first parameter:

gfx.CreateSprite( "/Sys/Img/Bunny.png", "bunnies" );

Spritesheets can be loaded in two ways:

The simple one is a specific file pattern
“Img/Sheetname_WIDTHxHEIGHTxSPRITE_SXxSPRITE_SY” or
“Img/Sheetname_stripTOTAL_WIDTHxHEIGHTxSPRITE_SXxSPRITE_SY”
if you have a different amount of sprites than the rectangle of spritesx * spritesy sprites.
