   Sprite generating algorithm
  I had an idea since I saw the Pixel robot applet on this site:http://www.davebollinger.com/works/pixelrobots/Wouldn't it be neat to have a program like that, that where capable of rendering sprites and then gives you an option to save one or more of the generated sprites? This would in my mind be extremely helpfull for people who are not so good at spriting and want to make old school games =)Do anybody know of a source that works in a way like Pixel Bots that I could have a look at or a guide on how to do such a thing?   
  The website you posted has its source code on it for reference. Did you start there for what you were looking for?
