I'm trying to create a simple 2D sprite game. The problem I'm having now is how to design my game. I was thinking of using a Sprite class that will be my base class for all the different types of Sprites I will use. The problem in my design is wheter to let every Inherited Sprite class draw itself, having a Draw method or should I have a centralized DrawEngine that handles all the drawing for me. Which method is the preferedpreferred one to use??

If I use the DrawEngine method how do I go about sending Textures to it? All the different Sprites will have different textures and the DrawEngine doesn't really know about the sprites. Could someone please help me out how to solve this problem how to handle textures in a DrawEngine class  ?

Thanks
