In terms of code, how do I use the object spriteSheet?
I know the instantiation is SpriteSheet myS = new SpriteSheet(BufferedImgae image, String path, spriteWidth, spriteHeight);
My question is how do I get this to work if I already have a sprites in my resources and a .info file?

Please save me, I got the spritesheet thing kind of figured out.

UPDATE:
I have created a github repo (https://github.com/Dmartin42/PlatformerTest/tree/master)
I am trying to place an animation on my menu screen where the player can choose which character they want to choose. I have tried many things but it still thinks the spritesheet is undefined. Again, I am referring to my menu class and any help is much appreciated.
My real question is how do I define a spritesheet for an animation?

Is it even possible to have an animation without an environment or entity?

For this kind of thing, you would write a custom ~~~~AnimationController. Create ~~~~Animations from ~~~~Spritesheets and add them to the Controller, then let it play an animation and access the frames by calling ~~~~AnimationController.getCurrentSprite().

Thank you. However it is still giving me an error. Would you be willing to look at my screens package (the menu screen)? I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
