what i would do is make a function that would flip/mirror the IMAGE using either memblocks if you understand em or point() if you dont

Memblocks = Tricky. A far simpler method is this:

Firstly, I assume you know how big your image is. If not, then I think you can find out using "Sprite Width()" and "Sprite Height()".

I'm gonna chime in here too with even another alternative.

If the goal is ultimately to get a flipped image from an image then:



Enjoy your day.

I would agree with robert the robot. Paste sprite and get image again is infinitely simpler than memblocks.

I didn't realise "paste sprite" was there either, until I read a newsletter article about anaglyph 3D support for DBpro where they used it quite a bit.

There's not really much need for a paste sprite command - most of the time you're changing the image used to create an animated look. Paste sprite is only really worthwhile if the image will never change. Could be useful though.

You hide the sprite and paste it so you can have things in front of whatever your pasting. Like if you want a spaceship to be under the current score you paste it then write the score. You keep it a sprite hidden so you can still do sprite collision checks.
