 |  Re: Software sprites_Archon?
Is there any source here or on the internet I may check for SW-sprites on Plus/4?
I checked the encyclopedia, but found no similar. Or should i say so simple to save the background, then XOR the soft-sprite image,and that's all? too easy 
Anyhow, the biggest limitation is really the number of ueable colors, even in multicolor. I made that sprite-set based on some concept arts and ideas, but the 3 fixed colors for multicolor characters are more than annoying
Yeah, if C= developers could spend extra 2 K color memory (both in graphical and multi character mode), then EVERY character could have free 4 colors, and this machine could be as killer in 8 bit graph, like the Amiga later... huh. What a lost chance, not to speak about the black color's 1 shade io. 8 (16 grey colors! would be astonishing). Did I mention that all colors should have 16 shades, not 8, damn blinking bit....
OK, that's enough for today on the sprites )
