Where can I find free sprites and images?
Is there a repository of small images... for example a spacecraft in space or a Mario Bros jumping and running...
Thanks in advance!

Try OpenGameArt
Also a Google image search with the work "sprite sheet" in it is usually pretty useful.

\$\begingroup\$ Thanks, now I have other doubt: how split the 'sprite sheet'? \$\endgroup\$ – omar Nov 18 '11 at 5:58

\$\begingroup\$ +1 ClassicThunder's response. Splitting up the sprite sheet into discrete textures is an uncommon approach and will just make you juggle many texture objects in arrays. Not good. \$\endgroup\$ – ChrisC Nov 18 '11 at 21:26
