Donut Quest = 6*10*15 = 750 sprites. But then there's moving sprites around which involves drawing as well. (in fact, every time you move you draw 3 sprites).

so if you think about it, 10000+ isnt "that" huge for a strategy game, and I wasn't even counting the cursor

i don't think he means 10,000 individual, different sprites, just several sprites drawn 10,000 times. i think most people thought of the first one. when you think about it, elfprince is right, 10,000 isn't that surprising.

Elfprince, could you try making your average posts have a bit more content than 3 words? It takes more time to click on the view new posts button than to read your replies. Thanks. Smile

Sure, although from this it looks like my average is quite a bit higher than that....



















:D
I really haven't worked on my project much since i figured out the new sprite routine. I need to come up with something else to add, or find someway to optimize or something. Or find someone who has other calc models that I can borrow to start porting.

What, I'm not cheating, I swear...after all I'm only using 10 pixels in my game, I need no further explaination then this; "There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't!"

wait? only 10 pixel's? or only 10 pixel colors? I must say, I think the latter one would make for a rather more interesting game than the first Laughing

hmmm..."10" in hexadecimal is 16, right? now if it were in base 5985, he could be using all 5985 pixels available to xLib...

Except that xLIB can access many more pixels, 'tis just that most picture files don't actually have that many.
