Would you be able to PM me a code example? Maybe I could do this before I continue on.

I could look into that... I would continue with your current method for now. What I propose would definitely be a speed hit. However, on the positive side, it would be a BIG memory savings. The big question is will the speed hit be noticeable? I'm not sure. Here are some questions:

- What do you think will be your maximum number of sprites onscreen?
- What are you sprite dimensions? 16x16? 32x32?
- Does your current sprite dimension take into account a 45 degree rotation -- specifically do the rotated "set" bits lie completely within the final sprite dimensions? If you are using common sprite sizes, the maximum dimension to rotate within a 16x16 sprite would be 10x10, and for 32x32 would be 22x22.

look nice so far, now we have competition with Skyway

will you have background images?

I got it all figured out, working on background images for the levels.

Nice, that will be cool. Are they all gonna be like star backgrounds or are there gonna be some levels on the surface of planets too?

I took out the Background images because they will cause conflictions with collision detection. Anyways, I added in support for asteroids today. The game allocates 90KB of RAM now

Sounds nice, and sorry that the background images wont work

It does seem it is possible for background images, sigh, perhaps I will place in about 2, 3 or 4 background images into the game that move around

YEAH!!! Sounds even better than before

Got the Backgrounds made, had to put all the sprites in a data file, it is going to be about ~36KB in size.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #27 on:** January 26, 2006, 01:07:00 pm »
