Neither of those methods would really provide any reason that you wouldn't be able to run at high framerates, so really its a case of which method is easier for you in terms of production cost/time.
By the way ... One more question i wander how to do character which is pointing with some gun on where i point with mouse (i mean how to do char which is pointing to mouse with somethink) because when i do sprite sheet its only texture :)
best bet there would probably be to have the arms+gun as part of a separate sprite sheet, one that you draw on top of the other one, so that you can rotate it freely.
Hi there, if you want your character's arm/weapon to follow, and want to do it in 2D, I wouldn't use a sprite sheet. $$anonymous$$ost games that work this way usually separate the different parts of the body, and just rotate the arms / weapons according to mouse position (using either Inversed $$anonymous$$inematics, or simply calculating the rotations in real time).
