Can somebody come up with chess (pawn, knight, bishop, rook, king, queen) sprites? 8x8 because the screen isn't large enough for bigger pieces - really they would need to be smaller so 2 pieces don't look connected.

Wow, cool thread you got going here Arcane Wizard. If I'd known that this was around I wouldn't have posted my other wish for sprites in the program release section.
Anyways, all I'm looking for is a good 8x8 sprite of the poopsmith (http://www.homestarrunner.com/vcr_poop.html) for the game I've completed but want better graphics for. |

| Thanks, JacobDeHaan. So, to put a black pawn I would need to AND the pawn sprite, then XOR the black pawn sprite in the same place, right? |

Umm, I don't have a clue. I just copied the from the file linked to earlier.
Arcane Wizard, thanks for the sprite of the poopsmith, it's definently better than what I can manage, not a lot of detail can go into an 8x8 sprite. |

No, 8*8 is quite limiting, but the good thing is that the actual drawing of the sprite doesn't take much time.
I think I'll write a C++ program that'll store every possible combination of pixels in 8*8 and then filter out everything that looks crappy manually. Probably not this weekend though. |

True, I'll probably stick with the program part and never do the manually filtering part. Maybe look at the results a bit, I just want to program something in a real programming language and don't have time to read 'Windows Game Programming In 24 Hours'.
I wonder how long it'll take to execute and how big the file will be. |

| you'll get 2^64 sprites which is 1,84 * 10^19, almost impossible to sort that out... |

Exactly that amount: 2^64 * 2^3 / 2^10 / 2^10 / 2^10 / 2^10 = 2^27 TB. Then you divide by 2 each time for vertical, horizontal, left to right diagonal, and right to left diagonal reflections. That will be 'only' 8388608 TB.

| I figured out how to use the chess sprites if anyone wants to know. For the black pieces, take the inversion of the 'piece AND' sprite. For white pieces, take the inversion of the 'black piece XOR' on top of the 'piece AND' sprite. They are decent, except the king looks like a pumpkin and the queen like a grail. |

18446744073709551616 combinations:
each combination: 8*8 characters
each character: 8 bytes
combinations * characters * 8 / 1024^4 = 18446744073709551616 * 8^3 / 1024^4 = 8589934592
Hence, 8589934592 TB

How come I could never find anything on C++ graphics when I was experimenting with the language???  I ended up ditching it and experimenting with java instead. (Which I also lost interest in.  )

Pure C++ can't do graphics, you'll need a Graphics API like Win32, DirectX, or OpenGL. Or you'll need assembly.
The funny thing is, learning to use these takes much more time than learning C++, which is quite easy.
Still, pure C++ can mess with arrays, hence there's no need to output any graphics (just data to a text file) in the program I wanted to do.

Here's a sprite i might use in pocket tanks:
00000010
00000100
00001000
00111100
00111100
11111111
11111111
01111110
Of course, I'll use a different turret, the one used in the sprite above is just so you can see what it would look like at a 45 degree angle. |

Or just execute an interrupt (I think 0x10) and dump crap at A000:0000 to get crappy VGA graphix!
Code:
/*
* Works on a 16-bit compiler, 32-bit compilers need special functions to
* poke at a segmented address.
*
*/
#include <dos.h>
#include <conio.h>
(unsigned char far *)v_buffer = 0xA0000000L;
void main()
{
int i = 0;
union REGS inregs, outregs;
inregs.h.ah = 0;
inregs.h.al = 0x13;
int86( 0x10, &inregs, &outregs );
for(; i < 100; i++ )
*(v_buffer + i) = i;
getch();
inregs.h.ah = 0;
inregs.h.al = 0x03;
int86( 0x10, &inregs, &outregs );
}
Then again, maybe better to learn an API, but that's how they did it in the days of yore (1994).  |

ok guys, i love the sprites, but how do i make them move fairly quickly?
Here is what i have
Code:
Pt-On(47.5,32
Pt-On(48.51,30.96
Pt-On(46.48,30.96
Pt-On(47.5,29.93
Pt-On(46.48,28.9
Pt-On(48.51,28.9
Pt-On(47.5,27.87
Pt-On(48.51,26.83
Pt-On(46.48,26.83
47.5üL(1)
32üL(2)
48.51üL(3)
30.96üL(4)
46.48üL(5)
30.96üL(6)
47.5üL(7)
29.93üL(8)
46.48üL(9)
28.9üL(10)
48.51üL(11)
28.9üL(12)
47.5üL(13)
27.87üL(14)
48.51üL(15)
26.83üL(16)
46.48üL(17)
26.83üL(18)
Lbl SP
getKeyüK
Pt-On(L(1),L(2)
Pt-On(L(3),L(4)
Pt-On(L(5),L(6)
Pt-On(L(7),L(8)
Pt-On(L(9),L(10)
Pt-On(L(11),L(12)
Pt-On(L(13),L(14)
Pt-On(L(15),L(16)
Pt-On(L(17),L(18)
If K=26
Then
ClrDraw
L(1)+2üL(1)
L(3)+2üL(3)
L(5)+2üL(5)
L(7)+2üL(7)
L(9)+2üL(9)
L(11)+2üL(11)
L(13)+2üL(13)
L(15)+2üL(15)
L(17)+2üL(17)
End
Goto SP
Its incredibly slow and unoptimised, a FOR WHILE loop wouldnt work for some reason, also, I tried changing CLRDRAW with Text(L1(1),L1(2)," " to delete the afterimage but it gives me a domain error when i move, NOTE- i start in the middle of the screen. This is the smallest sprite i could make without it looking weird (9 dots). I know that you have probly answered this a million times and that basic cant handle the code and make it fast, but anything would help
TI-OS changes the BASIC code to binary one line at a time, couldn't it turn the WHOLE FREAKIN PROGRAM into binary\machine code BEFORE the program ran?!? (HINT TO TI!!!) |
