if you would say what the typo is after saying there's a typo, that would be great.
Also, it's the compleat near the middle bottom of the first paragraph.
I guess you can just use sprites for now.
Have an offset variable for X. Let's call it XOFS.

Now for every SPOFS other than your main character, add an XOF+ before the X coord.
