I am trying to create a simple game that uses an animated sprite. I am trying to learn the sprite library however I am unsure how use multiple animations for my main character if I can only load in one animation sprite sheet per sprite. Should my character class contain multiple sprites with one for each animation, or can a Sprite object contain multiple animations from different sprite sheet files.

Did you resolve this issue, and have you already looked at examples in the Sprite library?

When designing a library API you can’t always predict all the options users might want. Sprites was designed under the assumption that each sprite would have only one sprite-sheet which would contain all the individual sprite frames.
