Sprite tutorial 1

By Tom


These tutorials won't explain the hardware of the Net Yaroze, there are
tutorials out there that already do that. Instead, I'll try to write
simple bits of code that clearly explain how to do various things.

In this tutorial...

batch.sio		siocons / PSComUtil batch file
main.c			demo code
streamlined.c		a more streamlined (and specific version)
NY.pxe			executable
sprite.tim		simple TIM file
readme.txt		this file
mypad.h			button definitions


Streamlined.c holds code that is specific to the 'sprite.tim' file and
ignores the frame buffering position data held in the TIM file. Instead
it just blits the sprite to (320, 0) in the frame buffer and the palette
to (320, 32). This is the quickest way to deal with sprites if you only
have one or two (like in my chraome mapping demo or the FFVII fade effect
demo). If you have more, use TimUtil to organise your graphics on the
frame buffer.


Directions...

Start & Select		quit the program (exciting huh?)
