[pygame] Images V Sprites

[Jason <jason@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Last question for the night (it's far too late).

As a little exercise I'm going to create a small breakout clone.

I was wondering what the best approach would be for the blocks; would it 
be a collection of images or sprites?

I'd have thought for speed issues (and memory), the images would be far 
better, but I haven't seen any details regarding collisions between 
sprites and images. (BTW: talking of docs, nice work on the docs update 
Peter).

I appreciate that for a breakout clone that there wouldn't be that many 
blocks anyway, so you could "get away" with using sprites, but for 
example having 3 balls bouncing around, say some nifty little special 
effects like explosions etc, that all those sprites would gobble up much 
needed resources.

Any thoughts on this?
