Hey..I'm not exactly new to DB, but I've basically forgotten everything I used to know about it because I'd started doing c++ in school. I'm working on making a little rpg game from a view sorta like the old Final Fantasy 3-6s or Pokemon or Zelda (bird's eye view, tile scroller), and I was wondering if someone could show me a bit of code to move and animate my character using the keys..I can do some of it, but I can't do the rest so it's pretty much useless to me..the character cell size is 24x 32 and it's 3 rows across, and 4 rows down, so 72x 128 all together. Anyways..I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me with that bit..it'd get me on the way, and it'll probably help me remember how to do the rest from my old days of game programming. Thanks

well actually it's just the character I need help with..I've got some code I've been fooling with, but I can't get it to work right. My image size, each cell of the character = 24x32, full size is 72x128, and it's 3 pictures across, 4 down...once I get this animation code down I'll need to get it to work where I move the left, right, up, and down keys to move the character and animate the frames when it does it. By the way..the top 3 frams are when the guy is walking up (you see his back), the 3 on the next row down is walking right, the next is walking down (you see him from the front), and the next is left if that helps anyone.

draw frames in a bitmap, putting them all side by side is the easiest way for me
