I found this site called YoyoGames and you can download a game maker from it. It's really simple, just download it and make games! It has forums and stuff where if you ask for help, you get it! Lol
To be considered sprites they actually have to be made of pixels
ALL images that you see on a computer/tv/whathaveyou are made of pixels. Sprites are simply graphical assets of a game.
...last time I checked photoshop was the built in image making program used on all adobe flash developing programs...
Flash has a graphics engine independent of Photoshop's. The latest versions of Flash have inherited Illustrators graphical environment.
And Photoshop isn't only a raster graphics program...it can handle vectors...just like Flash can handle raster graphics.
Photoshop can do some vectors, but it is not a vector environment. It would be better to do the vector work in a program such as Illustrator or Freehand.
@dank: Amen to your post. And yes, its not the best vector environment you can find but still...its good enough if you cant get your hands on Illustrator or Flash
I got game maker, but when we got a new computer it got erased. I didn't mind though because it was too confusing for me. I didn' like that i couldn't upload the game on any other game sights than yoyogame.com.
