well I just realized I somehow managed to screw up the map-loading code so that the spritemap y-axis is inverted

Wezl oOvOo

no idea what you look like

Ginger

hmmm

just take my pfp and extrapolate from that I guess

Wezl oOvOo

cat? ginger? disapproving eyebrow face?

oh ok

Ginger

do you need the original?

Wezl oOvOo

*shrug*

there it is

iirc you prompted that image :b

@WezloOvOo ^^^

Wezl oOvOo

there is no explanation why sideways head :P

24x8 wezl

hi I am back

@WezloOvOo here's Radvylf's stick-figure Ginger:

so as for animations, each animation needs to be its own image file with the frames arranged in a row

Wezl oOvOo

k my editor supports that (also gif for previewing)

example

Ginger

I can set the framerate but I need it in units of "1 frame every x ticks" (the game runs at 60 ticks/sec)

so a framerate of 2 would be 1 frame every 2 ticks, or 30 fps

it's like that because I am not good programmer and this was easy method

Wezl oOvOo

00:37

I've done that same thing before too

Ginger

ok very spicy

Wezl oOvOo

cat I made a while ago, for the ideas

Ginger

rember this needs to be 8x8

Wezl oOvOo

that's 20x16 with the tail, so that's just an example of how big things get to have details

Ginger

hmmmmm

well I can change it to 16x16 if you want

but that change is game-wide

Wezl oOvOo

00:45

I mean how big is the virtual display resolution?

16x16 is probably better

Ginger

well the window is 800x600 but I'm upscaling everything by a factor of 8 to fit that so the effective resolution is 100x75

Wezl oOvOo

wow smol

Ginger

lemme just change it to 16x16

Wezl oOvOo

16x16 squares will be big for that resolution but the sprites (which don't fill the whole square) will probably end up fitting nicely with it

however tiles such as for background might be better kept to 8x8

Ginger

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

right

so at that scale a sprite will take up 4 bg tiles worth of space?

or do I scale the sprites down/bg up

Wezl oOvOo

00:54

@Ginger yes at max

Ginger

ok got it

Wezl oOvOo

but it usually doesn't make sense to make sprites be the biggest squares they can be

Ginger

so do you have a test sprite for me to use? I can make my own if not

also if my code works like I think it does you should be able to make sprites in any size

provided, of course, they are square

Wezl oOvOo

Ginger

what this?

looks interesting

Wezl oOvOo

01:00

just a resolution demo

what do you think of 1bit graphics

just an idea

Ginger

so either on or off?

oop I g2g

we will continue this tomorrow

Wezl oOvOo

me too

Ginger

biya

Wezl oOvOo

@Ginger I can get you some spritesheets

10 hours later…

Ginger

11:10

I am baeck

wow, those are definitely spritesheets

time to import them!

did you make these?

(I assume so)

2 hours later…

Wezl oOvOo

13:41

yeah they're public domain

Ginger

okay
