Re: [Ql-Users] Sprites for Games
There are sprite drawing programs in the TurboPTR suite. These allow production of simple sprites for mode 4 and 8 as well as sprites for GD2 colours. This includes the production of sprites with degrees of transparency. You can also produce dynamic sprites which alter with time. By using the program Pmove, also on the SQLUG site, you can grab a section of the screen and turn that into a sprite.

What has to be converted and why? Old routines...? Cheers...Ralf R. From: "Marcel Kilgus" The colour conversion of course needs a bit of time and the result is only cached for the very latest sprite (this is so the mouse pointer does not need to be constantly converted). But my laptop for example can convert over 10 sprites per second, so this might not be an issue.
