Ya, they are text sprites. But the language shouldn't really matter.

Also, added a sixth option.

Personally, I think it's too dark and contrasted to look like water. What about something like the water used in Mario 2.0?

EDIT: Shouldn't this be in Pixel Art and Drawing?

The water in Mario 2.0 didn't look like water at all. It looked like dustbunnies floating in the air.

Heh, true.

I like #6 now because it's less contrasted. I still think it's kinda too vertical to look like water. Not much to do about that, though

Oh. Well, basically, it was

   █    
        
       █
        
   █    
        
       █
        
or something like that, so yeah, it kind did look like conveniently patterned dust bunnies.

In 2.0, it just slowed Mario down.

It actually did look like swimming, at least, except that he seemed to be walking in the water

Also, water could float in the middle of nowhere. It was weird but fun

So, which one are you going to use (meaning for the sprite)?

@Deep Thought
Probably number six since it seems to be the favorite I'm still not 100% for sure though.

@DJ
Ya. Though I think I'm going to kinda ditch my old tilemapper and create a new one. I recently looked at Edge and kinda got inspired to try and make it look as good as I can. So I've been trying to figure out how I want to do all this. Probably should talk to Sir some.

Thank ya

Keep in mind that on calc it may look less eye-hurting, though, because the contrast between pixels turned ON and those turned OFF isn't as big.  Also keep in mind that when on the calc, you got long columns of pixels going like this:

ON
OFF
ON
OFF
ON
OFF
ON
OFF

or to a lesser extent

ON
OFF
OFF
ON
OFF
OFF
ON

and so on, it doesn't give a very good result on the regular TI-83+ (black model). The contrast level for those columns will be much lighter than the rest of the screen and in some cases it may affect other portions of the screen. This particulary makes 3 and 4-level grayscale look extremly bad when the screen is filled with plain gray areas, but it is as bad with non-moving patterns.

This happens on other calcs as well, but not to such high extent. If you fill the entire 83+ LCD with checkered patterns, even at highest level 9, the LCD contrast looks like it has been set at level 6.
