Hello I'm new to Cemetech. I am a BASIC programmer but then I found Axe. While the main syntax is the same there are some changes. i have seen many impressive projects with well-drawn sprites. Unfortunately, sprite making is different in Axe than in BASIC. Can anyone point out some good spriting techniques? Such as how to edit, grayscale, tile mapping, and animation? Thanks

Welcome to Cemetech, Enigma! I believe that Axe employs three-level or four-level grayscale sprites, which require composing each sprite in two layers. However, I'll ask some of our Axe experts to provide more specific details. My main motive here is to ask you to

For spriting I would recommend you use xLib, it is probably one of the best programs for spiriting and I think it integrates with Axe (Tell me if I am wrong here) It has the basics of spriting, I'm not sure about greyscale, however it is a good place to start
here is a beginning tutorial

Axe most definitely cannot interface with xLib/Celtic/Omnicalc/etc. efficiently (if really at all), and even if it could, it would be counterproductive (going through some sort of hook, pass tokens as parameters for the routines, instead of just calling a self-contained graphical routine), so don't go through that strife.
What Ashbad said.
It would actually be more efficient to try to call into Doors CS routines than to try to integrate Hybrid BASIC calls.

Ah, never mind then. I would not know this as I have never really gotten into programming Axe
