-Sprites can be placed as well. Sprites require parameters. Each sprite
-needs a unique id tag, which can be any string without spaces, and
-then additional parameters that depend on the type of sprite, usually
-the id of another sprite. Sprites can be added, edited and deleted.
-Look at existing maps to see how the parameters can be used.
