This may seem like a dumb question, but how do you go about moving sprites that are consisted of image textures on 3d plains? I'm using darkbasic classic and am just looking to move the sprite on the x and y axis. Just a simple instruction for reading input from the arrow keys and moving the sprite correspondingly is all i'm looking for, thanks. Also what is the best way to animate sprites if you are using 3d plains to represent the sprite?

To move objects you can use the.....

position object

command.

I think these are the scancodes for the arrow Keys. Not sure though I just grabbed them out of one of my programs.

if keystate(203)=1
if keystate(205)=1
if keystate(208)=1
if keystate(200)=1

So they are checking for the keypresses, now all you have to do is increment/decrement X/Y.

you can also just do:

if leftkey()
if rightkey()
if upkey()
if downkey()

i believe that is pretty self explanitory...

if a tree fell in the forest and it hit a mime... would he make a noise?
