 Understanding sprites
 ---------------------
-Understanding how Stonesense deals with sprites is central to anyone who wishes to modify the content.
-The scheme is not very complicated, and this guide will give a short introduction to how they work.
-The way sprites are loaded is fairly generalized. With the exception of floors, which we will discuss later,
-all sprites are 32x32 pixels big and come in groups known as Sprite Sheets. All sprites are loaded and
-rendered in 32-bit full-color PNGs.

 Note that, in order not to conflict with neighboring sprites, a sprite must actually be within a smaller
 area than its 32x32 block.

 Sprite sheets
 -------------
-There can be an arbitrary number of sprite sheets configured for Stonesense, yet some are always present as
-they contain default sprites (see further down). Most of the content XML files allow users to specify sprite
-sheets, and this is done by adding a file attribute to the content nodes. By convention sprite sheets should
-be placed in their appropriate folder, with creature sprite sheets in the creatures folder etc.

 Sprite index
 ------------
 Sprite Index (sometimes referred to as Sheet Index) is a concept for referring to a specific sprite on a sheet.
 The index starts with the upper left sprite which has index zero. It then increments to the right. Stonesense
-is hardcoded to 20 sprites wide sheets, this means that the last sprite to the right in the first row has Sprite
-Index 19. The first sprite on the second row has index 20. This boundary is hardcoded and changing the size of
-the sheet will not affect it.
+is hardcoded to 20 sprites wide sheets, this means that anything past 20 "sprite slots" is ignored, though less
+than 20 slots is fine. The first sprite on the second row has index 20, the next row is 40, and so on. This
+boundary is hardcoded and changing the size of the sheet will not affect it.
