sprite width help

[Trip2018]

Hey, I know bB can only generate sprites only 8 pixels wide, but im working on a game that reqires a slightly wider level of detail. True I could shrink the width down to 8 pixels then use NUSIZ0, but it looks awful that way does anyone know of a kernel. Thanks.

The player width is a limitation of the hardware, not bB.

 

A couple options are:

• use both players to create a 16 pixel image, then use flicker to draw additional objects onscreen
• put the missile next to the player for 9 pixels, though I don't know if that's useful in bB (might need assembly for that)

An advanced assembly technique is to use line-by-line shifting on a 2x or 4x player (see examples in reply #16).

Dang, that's to bad. So then your saying that those 16 to 32 pixel wide sprites are just vectorized NUSIZX sprites?

 

EDIT: I used your 2x sprite converter but I am having trouble adding it into my bb code. I tried using the asm, inline, include commands and got nowhere. Can you help? I have no assembly expierience.
