I am not sure what happened. I had the sprites looking OK in a basic one step display. Then I moved the display code to my game loop, all tidied up and this is the result. I am hoping this looks familiar to you and you can point me in the right direction. The sprite (white) on the upper left starts ...

OK, it seems the problem was the sprites draw, SORTY statement. When I removed the SORTY it started working I have an issue with the positioning of the sprite. If I use: POKE &hB8,0 SPRITES DRAW SPRITE MOVE, 1, PX, PY (PX=16, PY=88) SPRITES RESTORE, WAITVB Then Sprite 0 displays in position 0,0 ...

Then the issue must be something else manifesting itself in the images. I am going to try removing significant parts of the program such as the music and see if it starts working.

So with my experimentation I find the following issues with images and sprites If I don't Load BLIT... from ID 0 and keep the numbering continuous there are issues with displaying the incorrect graphic If I don't ID sprites from 0 and up they don't display on screen If I have Load BLIT with ID 0,1,2...

OK, no problem with that. Now that I understand I can work with it. It also explains an issue that just popped up yesterday with a string variable that was storing the Level name going blank.

Also I am finding that if I include this line Sprites Draw, SORTY I get an error: Assembler::assemble() : 'testsprite.gasm:810' : invalid label/equate '_vtX' This is the code: _runtimePath_ "../runtime" _runtimeStart_ &hFFFF _arraysStart_ &hFFFF _codeRomType_ ROMvX0 'audio fix for ...

OK. I was concerned because I noticed a couple of days ago that if I skipped an Image ID then the image retrieved by ID was incorrect.
That is why I started them both at zero

Is there any relationship between Image IDs and Sprite IDs. I seem to be having a conflict with Image ID 0 and Sprite ID 0

My problem is even though I coded this as above it doesn't show on the screen LOAD BLIT, Images/ColdRoom/Guardian8.tga, 38, NoFlip LOAD SPRITE, Images/Willy1.tga, 0 Then later I show it by: SPRITE MOVE, 0, 24, 24 The image is white shape on black background Besides the obvious problem with no displa...

I am trying to use Sprites. Is there some documentation on how to utilise ?
