How do you highlight stuff? I would like to now how to do this. Thanks!

If you're busy, you don't have to help. But if you can, I'd really appreciate it.

Hi, Luis: I made a stick control based off the controls from your program. I've run into a problem. Would you mind taking a look at my most recent play journal post and see if you could help me? Thanks for helping me!

Hi, Harry. Thanks for your suggestion, but that wasn't what I meant. What I would like to know is how to make the picture change(using SPCHR) when I move the stick in a certain direction. Here is an example of what I would like to do: 1. I start the program Starts with cat facing down) . 2. I push the circle pad to the right and sprite picture changes to cat facing right. Thanks 4 helping!

Sounds cool! Good luck!

Hi, dveryone! I'm learning how to move sprites with the STICK OUT X, Y command. I can move one sprite image around the screen. But here is a problem I'm having. What I want to accomplish is that when I move the stick left (right, up, down) the sprite will turn in that direction. But I don't know how. Can someone please help me out please? (The picture is what I have so far.)

Looks great, Luis! What kind of game will this be?

Thanks, L! I saw this a while ago and wanted to play it. But I never saw the key. Looking forward to this!

Nice name, Gad! I really like the names we have now!

Thanks, Luis! I appreciate the help! I'm glad that you're helping people. I've been trying, but I need more experience first. So, thanks again and keep up the great work!

Sorry. Meant 3 questions.

Hi, again! I have a two questions for you, Luis (or anyone who can help). 1. What is VSYNC and how does it work? 2. I noticed in the part of the code (in Luis's prg) where it says how far a sprite moves it has" Y=PY+Y*2+J." What does the J do? 3. How does SPHIT work? Thanks so much! I appreciate all the help!

Hi, Luis! Thanks for the tutorial. I understand button controls! Good luck with your programming! Picture: I discovered screen-edge teleportation. The AI hates me.

Thanks, Luis! I really appreciate the help! I can't wait to start using this!

button controls and moving sprites. Do you mind if I make an explanation (with example program)? And if I use parts of your explanation, do you mind if I put your mii name in the credits? Thanks again! Happy programming!

Thanks so much! Do you have any idea how to make sprites move using the circle or plus pads? I think I may have an idea, but if you could help me with that I think it would save time and frustration. What I'm not sure how to do is make a sprite go somewhereand from that point, move in a different direction. Thanks again! You've already helped me advance a ton! BTY, when I understand how to do

My name is Caesar. I've been doing smileBASIC for a while and I would like to learn button controls. The problem is I don't know where to start. Could someone please teach me? Thank you! I appreciate any help I can get.

Hi, everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I'm going to close this discussion now.

(cont.) (I've been there), but it gets better quickly! Good luck and happy programming!

Well then (once you get it), welcome to the SmileBASIC community! If you ever need help, there are a ton of really smart people willing to help you out. To get you started, I'd recommend looking at some of the resources I put in this discussion. They're probably in the older comments by now. Finally, quick tip: if you are just starting programming, be patient. It can be frustrating at first,(cont.
