Hm, I'll try to run that app again this week at school, maybe it's because of my crappy graphics card (a nVidia GeForce 4 MX under Windows 7).

Alright, for all thos pixel artist out there, I have a new request.
I'd like a flowing water animation which can be any number of frames you see fit as long as it's reasonable (not more than like 16).
I'd also like the overworld sprites for Roland and Aria modified so the bottom 8 pixels (if you imagine the sprite in an 8x16 rectangle)  are standing in the water.
Thanks in advance!

no, the radar is the simple part, the actual fun is the quasi 3D view like in the first youtube link

and also, I think that for the view it won't be cockpit but your plane in 3rd person, then I can make that rotate rather than the sea/land/other sprites, which would require a much faster processor (I estimated around 75mhz at the very least)

with that change, progress is going smoother now.  Most screenies will be recreations in ms paint.

Sorry, had to go earlier, but what I meant by

That's because your image is a 16x16 sprite. What you need to do is split it into four 8x8 sprites, and it should work.

is this: Say you have a picture like this:

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
■■▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢■■
■▢■▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢■▢■
■▢▢■▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢■▢▢■
■▢▢▢■▢▢▢▢▢▢■▢▢▢■
■▢▢▢▢■▢▢▢▢■▢▢▢▢■
■▢▢▢▢▢■▢▢■▢▢▢▢▢■
■▢▢▢▢▢▢■■▢▢▢▢▢▢■
■▢▢▢▢▢▢■■▢▢▢▢▢▢■
■▢▢▢▢▢■▢▢■▢▢▢▢▢■
■▢▢▢▢■▢▢▢▢■▢▢▢▢■
■▢▢▢■▢▢▢▢▢▢■▢▢▢■
■▢▢■▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢■▢▢■
■▢■▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢■▢■
■■▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢▢■■
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Instead of storing it as a 16x16 picture, as in

Code: (Axe) [Select]

:[FFFFC003A0059009881184218241818181818241842188119009A005C003FFFF]→Pic1

you should think of it as four 8x8 pictures:

■■■■■■■■   ■■■■■■■■
■■▢▢▢▢▢▢   ▢▢▢▢▢▢■■
■▢■▢▢▢▢▢   ▢▢▢▢▢■▢■
■▢▢■▢▢▢▢   ▢▢▢▢■▢▢■
■▢▢▢■▢▢▢   ▢▢▢■▢▢▢■
■▢▢▢▢■▢▢   ▢▢■▢▢▢▢■
■▢▢▢▢▢■▢   ▢■▢▢▢▢▢■
■▢▢▢▢▢▢■   ■▢▢▢▢▢▢■

■▢▢▢▢▢▢■   ■▢▢▢▢▢▢■
■▢▢▢▢▢■▢   ▢■▢▢▢▢▢■
■▢▢▢▢■▢▢   ▢▢■▢▢▢▢■
■▢▢▢■▢▢▢   ▢▢▢■▢▢▢■
■▢▢■▢▢▢▢   ▢▢▢▢■▢▢■
■▢■▢▢▢▢▢   ▢▢▢▢▢■▢■
■■▢▢▢▢▢▢   ▢▢▢▢▢▢■■
■■■■■■■■   ■■■■■■■■

Then you'd store each 8x8 chunk one by one, starting with the top left, then top right, then bottom left and right. So you'd store it as

Code: (Axe) [Select]

:[FFC0A09088848281]→Pic1
:[FF03050911214181]
:[8182848890A0C0FF]
:[81412111090503FF]

which is basically the four 8x8 sprites one after another, and it should work.

The rounded corners look easy to do in CSS (already made them, will post them later).

I don't like the effect however, I'll probably make a diagonal stripes background too

Funny thing, I helped my friend out yesterday to make his page look better. I just created a blue background with a 100x100 dark blue rectangle in the center of it and applied a drop shadow to it. It can be easily done in photoshop and it looks pretty good. If you are going fro stripes dont make them horizontal or vertical it can be rather hyponitizing at times...
