CreateSprite: mySprite = CreateSprite ( myImage )

DeleteSprite: DeleteSprite ( mySprite ) - Remove the sprite from memory

*SetSpritePosition: SetSpritePosition ( mySprite , x , y ) - Sprite positions are percentage based, so SetSpritePosition(mysprite,50,50) would position the sprite in the centre of the screen.

SetSpriteSize: SetSpriteSize ( mySprite , sizeX , sizeZ ) -- passing -1 as one of the params ensure the sprite retains its aspect ratio

SetSpriteDepth: SetSpriteDepth ( mySprite , 10 ) (0 is front, 100 is back) - Set the order in which the sprite will be drawn.

SetSpriteColor: SetSpriteColor ( mySprite , red , green, blue, alpha ) - Sets the sprite RGB values and alpha, each value has a range of 0-255.

SetSpriteAngle: SetSpriteAngle ( mySprite , 180 ) - Sets the sprite rotation in degrees.

SetSpriteOffset: SetSpriteOffset ( mySprite , 32 , 32 ) (would be the centre for a 64x64 image assigned to a sprite)

SetSpriteImage: SetSpriteImage ( mySprite , myImage ) - Assigns a new image to the previously created sprite.
