Axe includes data in programs in the same order you enter it. What this means is that if you enter the data for 19 sprites contiguously, they will end up in the compiled program in that same order with no gaps between their data. Knowing that each monochrome 8x8 sprite is 8 bytes large, each consecutive sprite must then be exactly 8 bytes in memory after the one before it. So you can access the Ith sprite (0-indexed) with I*8+Pic00.

A sprite is 8 bytes so you'd do :
For(I,0,18)
Pt-On(X,Y,I*8+Pic00)
Y+8->Y
.Wrap to the next column :
If Y>58
X+8->X
0->Y
End
End

Also note that you don't need to name all the sprites since they're continuous data.

Edit : Ninja'd by Runer, but I gave you the code. :P

Quick question, is there a way to loop through static variables? For example, I have 19 sprites Pic00, Pic01, Pic02,...,Pic18, and I'd like to display them horizontally across the screen (until it reaches the edge and go to the next column).

I've read somewhere that you can use
Code: [Select]
For(I,0,18)
Pt-On(X,Y,Pic00+I)
End

But all I got is the first sprite pressed down and spread across the screen (think of butter or shift drag in MSPaint).
You already got the answer, but I wanted to precise some things. I think that your problem comes from the fact you said "static variables".
First of all, what can a static variable be ? Is is static or variable ? :P
But most of all, your data is not to be treated as variables, static or not, but as bytes, pointed by pointers. This is why when you have a bunch of 8x8 sprites, the first one is pointed by some pointer P, and the second one is pointed by P+8 (as Runer and StreetWalker said), because it is 8 bytes after the beginning of the first sprite in your data.

Noted. I need some help with displaying some sprites. I'm getting some pixels turned on. It's random. For each compilation pixels get turned on randomly.



Code: [Select]
.CONC

.Setup sprites

ClrHome

.DRAW
0->X:0->Y
For(I,0,35)
If X>88
0->X
Y+8->Y
End
Pt-On(X,Y,I*8+Pic0)
X+8->X
End
DispGraph

.LOOP TILL ENTER
Repeat getKey(9)

End

Try replacing your ClrHome with a ClrDraw.
What ClrHome does is clearing the screen, while ClrDraw clears the main buffer, where all your drawings go, and which is copied to the screen with the DispGraph. So if you don't clear it at the beginning of your program, chances are that you are drawing to a buffer that is not empty.

Ouch. You should do that :
Code: [Select]
[sprite1]->Pic0
[sprite2]
...
[sprite18]
That'd be much more readable and easier to edit. ;)

I've tried ClrDraw and ClrDrawrr both didn't work.

you have 18 spirites, no ?

If yes, then change the 35 in the for() to 17

I think pxl random appears because you draw undefined spirites

Thanks. I'm not sure why I put 35 there.

I would advise fully reading through the Documentation.pdf file included in Axe releases, for starters. It's far from a total guidebook, but it covers a lot of the basics and walks through code examples for common tasks.
