═════════ 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.
