are they the same?
Sprites are kept in video memory, and are faster to use than images.
Using the sprite lib requires at least DirectX 7 to be installed.
That's why sprites are good for games.
Images are in main memory, and therefore slower, because no graphic
hardware is used. There is no DX required, so they should be used to
do applications.
