ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
==================

This program will load in four 4 bit, 8 bit, or 16 bit sprites, and flip between them creating an animation. And that is really about it. The source code is fully commented, and I have tried where possible to explain why certain aspects of the code were included. If you want to see how animation is achieved, this code is a good place to start. The four example TIM files included show a character running. It probably won't be the smoothest animation you will ever see, but it does the job. 

I am sorry for the lack of an accompanying 'How to...' text file with this program, but this is really just animation at its most basic. My next few projects will all be animation based so I plan to include the text file with one of these.  

====================
RUNNING THIS PROGRAM
====================

Using CodeWarrior:

	1) Load the PS Communication Utility
	2) Once a connection has been established, select the
	   'Program Execution' menu and then select
	   'Execute Batch File'.
	3) From within the 'Select File to Open' box locate the
	   directory where you unzipped this file to, and then select
	   the file 'Batch.bat'. 
	4) The program will then download to the PlayStation and run

Using GNU:

	Unfortunately I have never used the DOS development tools Sony provides with the Net Yaroze, so at the time of uploading this file I know nothing of 'makefiles' etc.  Heck, I don't even know if I have provided all of the required files within this zip file. If anyone can tell me how to convert the CodeWarrior files into files that can be made and run through Siocons, I would be extremely grateful.
