Thanks for sharing this. I was not able to get this code working as it seemed to have incorrect offsets for all of my sprite slices. However I was finally able to get my own version working incorporating a few other bits of advice, none of which quite worked out of the box. Here is my version for future reference: https://github.com/fadookie/SpriteSlicer
