You learn to program. And you use your knowledge of programming to make your animation or game.

thats what im saying how do i learn? i looked up on youtube and there are some learn how to program videos but i tried them and they do not work

they don't work with smile basic.

What you could do is go to the official website, and go to the "Intruction List" section. They teach you all the keywords and how to use them.

thanks

Youtube- Petit Professor, he dose programming tutorials.

Also use the ? button, it will brake things down for you, learn things like, gcolor rgb(20,20,256) gline 0,0,100,100 Also learn print and input if you don't know these then your wasting your time with sprites

Let me make a quick program for you to see a simple sprite code

now copy this, its a medium level program, its a simple pointer program, I am new too, but take your time and read your manual and (?) button, sample programs show each step in learning. start at sample 1

hi brad, thanks by the exercise. why need zero in SPSET 0,XXX ?

also, why zero in spofs 0,x,y. why B and 1, 2, 4, 8 and no 1,2,3,4 ? also, vsink 1, can you explain that command please

start with spset 0,1 go to the program that says tech demo look under the sprite section

0 is the first management number. If this is your first and only sprite, do 0. If you have a second sprite at the same time, do 1. Up is 1, down is 2, left is 4, and right is 8. It's better this way since you can press up and left together to make 5 and the computer will know. If it were 1,2,3,4 then up+left would be the same as pressing right, and that's no good. Go look up Vsync.
