there probably is going to be SOME type of compression.  160k is riduculous...

I guess you could use RLE format O.o

RLE doesn't work very well if your picture has a lot of different colors. PNG is a more robust compression scheme, I believe.
However, given that the Prizm will have pictures in the memory already, it's entirely plausible that there will be OS level functions to compress and decompress images.

Cool! Can't wait :D

And remember to backup frequently (every 5 minutes) in case a RAM clear occurs on your calc or a hard drive failure on your computer.

 I might as well give more info on the game than just sprites, so I'll tell some more.

Humans (Light Gray)

The humans are pretty simple, their units in all 3 trades are pretty normal in stats and serve as the median compared to the other races.  They have three units: Soldiers, Archers, and Wizards.  Their structures are built strong to physical damage but a couple of spells can weaken their bases considerable.  The main story will mostly put you in control of this race, which happens to be great for beginners and advanced players as well.

Skylandians (White)

The direct opposition to the human race, but they pretty much are in bad standing with all the other races, due to their bloodthirst.  They are much more advanced than the humans, and therefore their units and structures are considerably more sturdy.  Of course, the top end fighters need large gold infusions to train ;).  Their units are composed of these advanced humans and Fgjjargs (technically robots), and are not used by the player in the main story mode.  However, in custom conquest mode, they should only be used by those who have mastered using the humans and elves/dwarves.

Elves/Dwarves (Dark Gray)

Dark Gray victory flags mark the glory of the elveven and dwarven empire!  These units are considerably weaker than their human counterparts, but their strength, magic, and range is pretty impressive.  They are used very commonly in the main story as like the humans, yet require a whole new way of strategy planning based more upon hit and runs rather than a full out siege.
Great for moderately advanced players!

Orks (Black)

This race is not seen very much in the main story, and for good reasons -- put in the right hands, this race can obliterate all the others with little trouble.  Their units are very very strong, though their range and magic abilities are a bit lacking.  With units being so expensive (more than ten times as much as a correlating skyland unit), only extremely experienced players should even think of using these little guys.

Nice :D

I liked Night elves from Warcraft III aside from the fact they were friggin expensive. Make sure those races are balanced.

I will, maybe I'll weaken the orks some more...

But it seems like they deserve the power and expense because their sprites are so damn awesome ;D

next up, I'll explain some story line or something (maybe tomorrow, unless I can get a computer in the library while waiting for cross country, and even then it'll have to be short because I have so much damn homework...)

Yeah, just remember that in a strategy game or similar games, most race must be equal in forces. It's unless it's kinda RPG-ish, though.

I'll heed your advice ;)

well, I might do some spriting tonight, but for the next 3 hours I'll be very busy, so I'll post a status at 10PM before I hit the sack.

Hopefully, tonight and tomorrow (I had so much activities and HW last night and the night before, and I have a cross country meet tonight)

The status update with the structures sprites will most likely show up tomorrow afternoon at 3-4 PM

Ah ok but I meant more in the near future, like when will your school workload become lower? (one week, one month, etc)
