What are the differences between 'CreateSrpite' & 'CloneSrpites' commands?
Is there any reason not to clone a sprite but create it again?

clonesprite keeps all the settings (like setspritesize etc.)
for performance it's probably better to use clone too but can't confirm it.

Clone sprite references the majority of its data (properties and image) from the source sprite. It's really just like having 1 sprite in memory but drawing it a bunch of times. Create sprite will make a new sprite, each one using up a chunk of memory. Cloned sprites can still have their own rotation, position, and I think color.

The clone ones work sort of like a pointer and reference i think.
