Animated Sprite

[Joemama98]

For my game, it's necessary that I have sprites that may move indepent of the user, so, I made a routine:

ClrDraw
randInt(0,60->B
32->A
Lbl 1
Line(28,58,38,58
Line(28,50,38,50
Line(28,42,38,42
Line(28,34,38,34
Line(28,26,38,26
Line(28,18,38,18
B-1->B
Line(A,B+4,A+2,B+4,0
Line(A-1,B+3,A-1,B+3,0
Line(A+4,B+3,A+4,B+3,0
Line(A+1,B+1,A+2,B+1,0
Line(A,B,A+3,B
Line(A,B+3,A+3,B+3
Line(A,B,A,B+3
Line(A+3,B,A+3,B+3
Line(A-1,B+1,A-1,B+2
Line(A+4,B+1,A+4,B+2
For(X,1,15
Line(A+3,B+4,A+3,B+4
Line(A+2,B+4,A+2,B+4
End
For(X,1,15
Line(A+3,B+4,A+3,B+4,0
Line(A+2,B+4,A+2,B+4,0
End
For(Y,1,15
Line(A,B-1,A,B-1
Line(A+1,B-1,A+1,B-1
End
For(Y,1,15
Line(A,B-1,A,B-1,0
Line(A+1,B-1,A+1,B-1,0
End:Goto 1

The sprite looks something like this (but you can imagine the space between the colons to be filled):

*an overhead view of a person*
:::::::::
:::: ::::
:::: ::::
:::::::::

With alternating steps every time he SLOWLY inches forward. The problem's just that, it's too slow. Everything's always to slow for me. If I increase what number is subtracted from B (being Y) then it jumps in a glitchy kind of fashion, I'd just like it to be steady, quick, and smooth. any suggestions?

Use a asm sprite program. It's much easier and faster.

that's the problem, I want to try to keep this all in BASIC
