What is a sprite sheet?
I assume this is a texture containing a series of sprite images arranged in a regular gird....we call that a texture atlas.
Simply access each 'sprite image' by its texture coordinate when texturing the quad or sprite. For example, suppose you has only 4 'sprite' images in this atlas texture. The first image would have its top-left texture coordinate as (0,0) and it's top-right as (0.5,0).
One word about texture atlases. Make sure there are a couple of black pixels between each image so that linear filtering does not grab texels belonging to an adjacent image/sprite.
