So I am finally finished with my Sprite Sheet testing environment and it works great. Basically what I have done, is make a test program that runs the same basic test we have been doing in all the other situations on multiple different types of sprite sheets. By doing this test we have the ability to see what style of sprite sheet will give us the best frame rate in our animation system. So ideally next week when we are planning our animation system we will not only know the best image formats to use but we will also know the best ways to use those image formats. On top of that the tests will help us to try and determine why each format and setup works as well or as badly as it does.

As far as test results go, I have not yet run the tests themselves but I will be doing so in about an hour. Before I run the tests I still have a few simple edits to make to the files and I have to restart my XO so that I am running the tests from a "clean" environment. Ideally I will be able to post the results today but if not expect them for tomorrow.

Have a good one.
