True, I could use comments ... too late, anyway. I'm not used to commenting my code, like most people who started with BASIC.

The only reason I somestimes commentmy code is because of java.  The pointers are the hardest part about axe. If you understand them, and understand the math, you are practically an axe expert.

I personally found stuff like dealing with storing stuff to half-bytes and dealing with negative values in comparisons to be harder. Pointers were hard to get at first, but not as much it seems. Learning to deal with negative values is easier, but dealing with them is rather tricky, especially when you do a program with physics and collision detection.

i think negative values are easy to understand, just tough to implement. also, getting sin cos and tan are difficult. i still don't understand bitmap(). but i don't use it either.

I really like the bitmap() command. I haven't used it jet, but that's because I'm also programming in c#, which has a little priority right now for me for this week. next week I'll start to code intensively in Axe. But the bitmap command is just like the sprite command, except the first two bytes: they are the height and width. After them comes the data in bits, so a little smiley of 9 x 9 would look like this:

10011001
000111000
011000110
100101001
101010101
100000001
101000101
100111001
011000110
000111000
in bytes, which is in hex: 09091C31A535580D1672C61C0

I thougt. please correct me if I'm wrong!

i think that's wrong, but i'm not completely sure. it's 9x9 so wouldn't 0909 be the first two bytes in the hex?

Also, you're going to have to pad to the nearest byte.  Which means that your sprite will look something like this:

0909
Row1: xxxxxxxx x0000000
Row2: xxxxxxxx x0000000
...
Row9: xxxxxxxx x0000000
So in total, the sprite will be 20 bytes.  2 for the size parameters and 18 for the sprite itself.

So does the width have to be a multiple of 8 like most sprite routines?

no the width does not have to be specified as a multiple of eight, but when converting the sprite to hex you have to pretend that the width is a multiple of 8. so if you had a 9x9 black square:
111111111
111111111
111111111
111111111
111111111
111111111
111111111
111111111
111111111
you would specify the dimensions as 0909 in the first two bytes. however, the sprite you convert to hex would look like so:
1111111110000000
1111111110000000
1111111110000000
1111111110000000
1111111110000000
1111111110000000
1111111110000000
1111111110000000
1111111110000000
because you have to pad to the nearest byte, or multiple of eight.
the hex for a 9x9 square would thus be:
[0909FF80FF80FF80FF80FF80FF80FF80FF80FF80]

Aaah ok, so it's kinda like when you make sprites with xLIB, then. To draw a 14x8 sprite, you need to draw a 16x8 one with the last two columns of pixels being turned OFF.

Do they have to be turned off, or are they simply ignored?

I'm almost certain that they're ignored, but I haven't actually tried that yet.

They have to be off in your sprite, since xLib accepts sprite width in bytes.
The sprite would only be drawn to be 14 pixels wide, but you would have to space it 2 pixels away from the next sprite, then when you called real(1, you would give it a sprite width of 2 bytes. This would draw a 16 pixel wide sprite, but since 2 of the columns were white, or the pixels were turned off, it would appear to be a 14x8 sprite.
