Yeah, I vaguely remember something changing with the sprite surface a while back, and my demos would have needed updating. Unfortunately I don't recall the details, and it looks like I didn't do it at the time. It was something to do with coordinates, I think. Also note that recent versions of OS X don't much like indexed color; you'd want to change it to use direct (16- or 32-bit) color instead. Anyway, it's certainly fixable; dig in and see if you can find what needs updating. If not, let me know and I'll try to find a few minutes to do it. FYI, the coordinates are supposed to be drawn; that's just a visual aid to help you understand how the SpriteSurface works. But you should also see land, hills, etc., on which the little guy runs. Sounds like those aren't being drawn properly. > It's the kind of malfunctions I had with the sprite > surface. Using Mac OS 10.4.8, RB 5.5.5.

Sometimes it's not very active.. especially when people start game-development threads on the NUG instead of there. :) We really should move this thread over to there, so as not to clutter up the NUG with topics many people may not care about.
