You see how if you have even borders on all sides, the sprites are all out of alignment? And as you can see in the top row, they're each separated by identical sized borders and look 'evenly spaced' apart.īut look what happens when you actually split them apart (which a sprite processor does).
Let's say that the squares with circles in them are your sprites. I just whipped this up in mspaint to demonstrate what I mean. On the other hand, the left sprite has a full unsplit border on its left and the right sprite has a full unsplit border on its right. The center column has to split their left and right borders in half because they share them with the left and right sprites. Look at the border of each of your sprites.
