O YOU REMEMBER THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN DO
ING SPRITES ON THE ".BRAND-NEW." COMMODO
RE 64 WAS THE .IN. THING??? WHEN IF YOU
COULDN'T DEFINE A SPRITE, YOU WERE REGA
RDED AS INFERIOR BECAUSE TO DO SO REQUIR
ED A HORRIFICALLY EXACT KNOWLEDGE OF THE
MACHINE AND A PAGE OF POKES FOR THE SPR
ITE, AND BEING .ONLY HUMAN. YOU SINMPLY
WEREN'T ABLE TO?.. WELL, THOSE DAYS
ARE .OVER!!!!!!!!!!. NOW WE HAVE THE CO
MMODORE 128.PC., A RATHER NEAT MACHINE W
ITH ALL OF THE LITTLE BUGS OF THE C-64 A
ND THE C-64 NON-COMPATABLILTY OF THE +4
SOLVED WITH THE END USER IN MIND. (..EN
D-USER: EHNDD-YOO-SIR;. THAT MEANS YOU!.
).. COMMODORE, HAS TAKEN A BIG HINT
FROM THE OVERWHELMING PROLIFERATION OF C
-64 .BASIC-EXTENDERS. AND SPRITE EDITERS
AND THINGS, IN DOING SO, THEY HAVE INCL
UDED ALL KINDS OF NEAT LITTLE COMMANDS T
O TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE GREAT CAPABILITI
ES OF THE SID AND VIC-2 CHIPS. (THEY GO
OFED IN A FEW PLACES!) FOR THE MOMENT,
WE'LL ONLY LOOK AT SPRITES ON THE C-128.
(APPLE2C NUKER?)...CN1...(ENOUGH .LONG
WINDED. INTRODUCTIONS!!!)....CN0..
HOW DO YOU DEFINE SPRITES??? (I'VE OFTE
N ASKED THAT MY SELF) THERE ARE 3 WAYS
TO DO THAT WITH THE C-128 (3 AND POSSIBL
Y MORE).. 1: USE THE SPRITE STA
TEMENTS WITHIN A PROGRAM. 2: US
E THE BUILT-IN SPRITE EDITOR (.SPRDEF.).
3: THE SAME WAY AS ON THE C-64
.. (YOU'VE PROBABLY READ SOMETH
ING LIKE THIS IN THE MANUAL!).. 1: WE
'LL ONLY TALK ABOUT 2 OF THE THREE METHO
DS SHOWN, USING THE SPRITE COMMANDS IN B
ASIC 7 OR THE BUILT IN SPRITE EDITOR. (
.SPRDEF.) TO TALK ABOUT THE THIRD WOULD
BE TOTALLY POINTLESS SINCE THAT METHOD
IS MADE ESSENTIALLY OBSOLETE BY THE FIRS
T TWO! THE FIRST IS TO USE THE SPRITE
COMMANDS IN THE MACHINE... THIS IS R
ATHER SIMPLE. IT ALLOWS THE USER TO TAK
E A PIECE OF THE HIRES BIT MAP AND CONVE
RT IT INTO A SPRITE. THIS IS KIND OF NE
AT SINCE IT ALLOWS QUITE A BIT OF FLEXIB
ILITY IN THE DRAWING STAGES. THIS IS DO
NE USING 5 SIMPLE STEPS. THEY ARE AS FO
LLOWS.. 1, DRAW A PICTURE USING TH
E HIRES GRAPHICS COMMANDS. THE PICTURE
IS 24PIXELS WIDE, AND 21 PIXELS TALL IN
STANDARD GRAPHICS MAP OR 12W BY 21T IN T
HE MULTICOLOR BIT MAP... 2, USE TH
E SSHAPE COMMAND TO CONVERT THE PICTURE
DATA INTO A STRING VARIABLE... 3,
LOAD THE PICTURE DATA (WHICH IS NOW STOR
ED AS A STRING VARIABLE) INTO THE SPRITE
USING THE SPRSAV COMMAND... 4, TU
RN ON THE SPRITE USING THE SPRITE COMMAN
