Your idea sounds good, but, you will have totest, not only the string length, but, the actual time it takes to DRAW. I might be that going up-and-down takes longer than left-to-right. I still feel that sacrificing a little bit of precision coloring would pay off... In any case, the search for etter ...

When you try to compile, QB looks for all the files it needs, expecting them all to be IN THE SAME DIRECTORY, or folder, as QB is in! Please put the program you want to compile in that folder. Then, QB will have no trouble compilint. If you don't have all the necessary QB files, including the progra...

MilesAway1980: Say, I just had a thought! Maybe one way of taking care of those pesky border-intruding tiles is this: 1. Draw the 8-pixel-wide outside, all-around black border once only! 2. Early on, GET an 8x8 black sprite. 3. Whenever a tile of the map is to intrude, let it, followed by PUTing the...

MilesAway1980: Very nice! Wow, I have never seen such long strings for the DRAW command. Your code snippet worked well. A lot of flicker, due to the constant redrawing of the screen, whether a move required it or not. I added another, short DO/LOOP just after your first DO, that loops until either a...

Burger, are you familiar with qmanche? The .bas file is abou 22K. Is that too big to post here? That is, if you are interested in it. To me, the code is very difficult! Of course, if I dedicate a lot of time, I could probably learn how some of the code does what it does, but, right now, I don't have...

Yeah, Burger knows what he is talking about! I just went through one program that redrew the screen each time, and it was a stationary screen! After various intents of having the OP (original poster) take my suggestions of just moving his scout (the sprite), I finally ended up changing his code to d...

I haven't done any considerations for a moving background! I do have a .bas program, called QMANCHE, which has a constantly scrolling forest and buildings. It seems very jumpy, though. I, personally, haven't tried to deciher how the code works. It seems to me o be very tight code, and, pleanty of it...

OK, instead of the vertical 8x480 and 624x8, for SCREEN mode 12, use a vertical 8x200, and a horizontal 304x8 black (background) tile, that is only TWO tiles. What are you talking about when you say 160 tiles? Perhaps you are talking about the whole screen? Because dividing all the pixels of SCREEN ...

From the Wikipedia, one gets: Sprite: In computer graphics, a sprite (also known by other names; see Synonyms below) is a two-dimensional/three-dimensional image or animation that is integrated into a larger scene. Sprites were originally invented as a method of quickly compositing several images to...

MilesAway wrote: As for drawing them and then having a routine that draws over the top of them. I've tried that too. The downside is that you can see the tile for a flicker of a second while its being drawn to the screen, so there's always a flash of disappearing, reappearing tiles around the border...

MilesAway: Please see my post in the thread, PAINT COMMAND. There, I show that you can use a very simplified method for any CHR$(N), for N = 32 up to 265. Well, 32 through 125 (the available characters on the keyboard). Maybe that can help you out. As o your desire to PAINT tiles off the screen...hm...
