100 for Y acceleration?
I'm using 12 for gravity...…

Yeah, butts I think you probably meant 10 or something. 100 is way too fast.

Yeah, you're prolly right.

lol acceleration of acceleration

acceleration of acceleration is the derivative of jerk.

Sorry to be a super n00b, but what does >> mean? For example: X>>12. Also, I've never understood for loops, what are the 3 arguments?

> works on only positive numbers.

in a for( loop, the 3 arguments are: first, the variable. second, the starting value of the variable, and third, the ending value of the variable.
for example:

Code: [Select]

:For(A,0,3) //loops through 4 times
:Disp A>Dec //displays the value of A (see how it changes?)
:End


Thank you SO much. I see now. Just one more question: How do people put huge graphics like 25x40 in their main screens? Like the logo and such. I only know how to do 8x8

They could use a whole bunch of 8x8 sprites, which is useful when you have a relatively small area that needs to be displayed

They could also be using the bigmap() command, which is like the sprite command but is a bit slower and can display 'sprites' of any size

Or They could be importing a picture directly [Pic1]->GDB0 and copying it to the buffer.

EDIT:  Njnja'd 

He means Bitmaps.   Typo fail.

Check out the commands list that is in the folder you downloaded Axe in, and look for the "Bitmap" command.  It's pretty useful for 25*40 sized graphics.

Edit: Wait... So what do I put for the third argument?

The pointer to the bitmap.  It's like the third argument for regular sprites, only it's formatted a little differently.

What do I put for that pointer?

Try this (or something like it):
: [0203 FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF 0000000000000000 FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FF818181818181FF FF818181818181FF FF818181818181FF]->Pic1
: ClrDraw
: Bitmap(10,20,Pic1)
: DispGraph
: Pause 1000
