I would lile to know how to use the sprites that you see only on the touch screen from programs such as the character editor.

Sprites and Vsync

I've started using sprites into my game and I have a problem when setting the sprites. I have this flash effect that happens when I change a sprite, you'll be able to see the sprite being changed and see a flash of the sprite from the top right corner or its home position. I tried to stop this flashing effect by having the sprite be cahnge after vsync has been called but that ends up with the sprite not being changed at certain times. How can I remove the flash effect when chainging a sprite?

BGOFS is used to make a background move. In your case you want a background to scroll so you will need a variable for the x or y axis.

Example

BGFILL 0,0,63,63,10,0,0,0
IF BUTTON ()==4 THEN BGX = BGX - 1
BGOFS 0,BGX,0,3x60

The following code will draw a background from the to left corner to the botom right corner and will scroll when the left button is pressed.

BGOFS has 4 parts. The first tell what layer is being controlled(0-1). The second is the x offset of the background and the third is the y offset. The final part is how quickly it moves to the point, the number will be in 1/10th of a second.

Drawing background tiles.

When drawing backgrounds is there anyway to draw a larger tile from the file or do you have to use the default bg tile size in parts?
