How do you draw a picture on to of the background without having to use the "cls" command to ensure that the picture does not get smeared accross the screen?

Will i have to use the Sprite commands in OOT to do this?

Im trying to make a Mario game, with teh background being the level, and im trying to get Mario to run across the screen, but to do this i have to redraw the background, is there any other way to avoid this:?:


Also

Why is it that turing 4.0.4 have the Sprite commands but they dont work:?:


thx

You can draw a box that is the same color as the bg color to cover the pic everytime u move it to a new location. And sprites only work for 3.11 of turing, if u want to u can use dansprite, but its kinda buggy.
ok *cough*gurjit*cough*?

what is dansprite?

*cough*Paul*cough* lol

DanSprite is made by dan, once u include it, you can move ur pictures without cls or w/e, like using sprites.

so all i ahev to do is import it and just use the Dan Sprite commans?

[Paul]

yea, though it's glitchy when u have 2 sprites overlapping, so you COULD use an occasionaly cls to clear that problem up.

I am plaing on updating that some day, but with exames and stuff coming up. ... May be i will get some time this week end since it is a long one.

Realy all you got to know to make your own sprites system is that u need some how save your backgorund then redraw it when it is coved up.
