Sprite sheet help needed

[zuber]

For the various games I'm currently trying to code I'm in need of a whole bunch of sprites. Finding the sprites is not the problem, but the idea of making a hundred separate pictures seems tedious and rather inefficient. Essentially what I'm looking to do is this: (for a sprite sheet with 100 sprites each 25 by 25 pixels)

code:

Image spriteSheet = new Image("SpriteSheet.gif"); Image[]sprite = new Image [100]; int z=0; final int PICX=25; final int PICY=25; for (int x=0;x<10;x++)           for (int y=0;y<10;y++) { sprite[z]= new Image (spriteSheet,x*25,y*25,PICX,PICY); //The idea here being that I want to create a new picture off the spritesheet of size PICX by PICY starting at coordinates x*25,y*25 z++; }

I've been looking but can't for the life of me find the java code (for an applet btw) that will allow me to do this. Any suggestions?
