Yeah, he released a 'TI BBc Basic editor' in the package of BBC Basic when you download.  It is unfortunate that the editing scheme is so unfriendly though, as it tuns many people away.  I've worked with it some and it really is quite powerfull.  (although i haven't done any sprite graphics yet D:)

I just voted. I chose other. :D This is because I like looking at all the cool graphics people make in basic.  As for with xLib, I'd choose 8*8.

For some games, 7x7 actually turns out alright if you get everything working, although it takes a little more work.

Yeah, most of my sprites in Chip's Challenge were 7x7 since having an odd number of pixels somehow makes it look a little better (especially symmetrical sprites). The 8th column/row were taken up by the grid anyway :)

I usually perfer 8x8 for tilemaps. They're easier to draw and fit more in one pic data.
I only use 16x16 for special occatoin like battle.
