- ═════════ SPRITE ══════════
-
- There are four files supplied with this program.
- They are:
-
- 1) SPRITE.COM - This is the Sprite Program
- 2) SPRITE.SAV - This is a sample sprite save file.
- You can restore it by pressing
- ALT + F10 while in SPRITE.
- 3) SPRITE.SAV - A sample BASIC program created
- with the SPRITE program.
- 4) SPRITE.DOC - This message. SPRITE is self
- documenting.
-
- SPRITE lets you conveniently create Sprite
- charaters. A Sprite character is a graphics figure made
- from a set of colored pixels. Instead of displaying
- this figure pixel by pixel, BASIC lets you display the
- figure in one step with the graphics form of the PUT
- statement. This is similar to the Sprite graphics
- available on other microcomputers.
-
- The graphics PUT statement displays a figure that
- is stored in an array in a coded form. Trying to encode
- a figure in an array is very tedious; the manual is very
- vague and confusing. This is where SPRITE comes in.
-
- SPRITE lets you design your Sprite figure and
- sample it with different palettes and background colors.
- Your Sprite figure can be as large as 160 X pixels by
- 100 Y pixels (32 X 20 is default). This is as large as
- one fourth of the display screen. You can even save and
- restore works in progress. When you are ready, SPRITE
- will create a file of BASIC statements. These BASIC
- statements (an array declaration and a set of DATA
- statements) can be merged into a BASIC program and used
- with a PUT statement. Be sure and load your array
- beginning with element zero.
