About the sprite display, are sprites only displayed at multiple of 8 horizontally? This might be an issue for some games where the programmer wants smooth character movement or similar things. Do you think this could be changed?

I have bugged and bugged Zeda to change that too, but he wants to save size...

Also, Zeda, this is the reason why I haven't finished POP for BatLib, I made an alpha version but moving 8 by 8 just makes the game terrible.

I could bug you more to finish this, but will it work?

It isn't the size, it is the trade off in limitations... right now, you have only 12 columns, but the sprites can be up to 96 pixels wide, they can still be drawn every pixel down, the sprite drawing is much faster (enough to create grayscale). The other method will be slower and be only for 8 pixels wide and the sprite masks will be limited. You haven't bugged me to finish making this, you have only complained to me that you don't like the current version. There is a reason for the "BatLib Ideas" topic.

Sorry.

EDIT: Also, on another note, I will be without internet for from May 9th to August 29th, so if I don't respond, that is why :/ Also, if for some reason I cannot come back to college, I might not have internet for a long while after that.

Probably not :/ I have had occasional access to internet while on break, but usually only enough to check in and not enough to actually post updates. Plus, that gives people enough time to master techniques in BatLib! I add so much to it that people have a tough time keeping up :/

I didn't know about the part when you may not be able to come after August 29th O.O

It's still a lot though (if you return to college).

Okay, so I guess the previous post can be pretty much ignored now... I am in the process of converting BatLib to mnemonics so that I can incorporate some of my latest project ideas (line reading/writing/deleting, a safer programming language than ReCode, et cetera), but I do not know how to get Brass to compile my code as an app. It says that the first page must be 16KB and I think the issure is that I change .org to 9872h for code that is executed at appbackupscreen. Sorry for the runon sentence, but help would be appreciated...

Are you using the DCS SDK? You need binpak8x to get 8XP or 8XK files.

I am using the DCS SDK, but I opened up the Brass App in notepad and saw that I could define my source as being "TI8XK" or "Intel", but it does not make the correct format for the TI8XK and the Intal hex format that I should be able to use with wappsign does not work :/

Try this because I don't think I can help you any further :(

Thanks, I now have a little more time to check in on this... Now that I have converted most of the code to mnemonics and have tons of code waiting to be implemented, if I can figure this out... BatLib will have even more features packed into it. I have several programs that are several thousand bytes in size that could really help fill BatLib up XD

Hehe, I finally figured out how to get Brass to compile an app, so now I am debugging, I should be able to start adding new things in a few days :)
