Sorry this is a bloody retard question but how do you make srites I've looked at the code but i dont understandd it? I'm not a noob but Ive never done any 2D not really even attempted it but id like to make some retro copies like pacman etc
thnx
Jonny

well the sprite command references:

the sprite number

the x position

the y position

and the image number.



rem this makes a yellow box 32 pixels square
rem with a black number
rem and stores it into image 1

cls
ink rgb(255,255,0),1
box 0,0,32,32
ink rgb(0,0,0),1
text 1,1,"1"
get image 1,0,0,32,32
cls

instead of all this internal creation you can also load
a pre made image.



sprite 1,10,10,1

would place sprite 1 at x10 y10 using image 1


Thats great that u have look at "the code" but the instructions are just as important

with any command it will have usage requirements and or parameters to control, Its up to you to remember them all so u can use them in different combinations to create whatever u want.


If your not sure about a command place the mouse focus
over the words of that command and press F1 it will show u the Helpfile for that particualr command.

Explore using a loop also to place mutliple sprites down and note what order they appear to be in and what ones appear to overlap.

for i=1 to 10
sprite i,x*10,y*10,i
next i

good luck

you can also make ur own image in paint or something and save it into ur project file.

then in the program (for example):

hide mouse

load bitmap "(whatever the name is).(the file type)"
get image (the sprite number),0,0,(how wide (x)),(how long (y))
`sprites never have the same #, if u have 2 sprites then one of them is 1 and the other is 2 etc.
cls
rem that clears the sprite u loaded
rem then u start the loop
main loop:

sync on
cls
do

rem then u load the sprite
sprite (sprite#),(position(x)),(position (y)),(sprite#)

if u need more help look at this code:
