Hello all

Could anyone give me some clues on how to get a moving sprite leave a
trail behind it? Would I need a new sprite for each bit of the trail,
each with its own level of brightness, to give the impression of the
trail fading away?

Also, any hints on doing other special effects such as screen dissolves,
melts, morphs etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Phil
