This is a pretty good how to book on 2d sprites. It shows you how to bring them to life using some bitplane animation. It also does some intersection tests on the objects, allowing them to be used together in a shoot-em-up type of environment. A simple book, but a good one if you are going to be working with 2d sprites. A LOT of code, maybe too much.
