Moreover:

the elements of backdrops as to parallax effects must be drawn independently.

What we need now, is background-graphics within:

Hi Giles

try to draw...houses , trees, bushes...whatever you want,if possible with raster....and i will try to add it.

Mabe the Pacman could need some changes ....but only the head... the body is ok.....the jumping pac looks great.

^ this seems to be the paradigm

8x16 px? Really tiny. 72 dpi? RGB? Then these are are fused together? Forgive me, this is all 100% new for me.

Which dimension spec is it? 160 x 240 or 320 x 240? Do you have a color palette to send me so I can know which 25 colors to use? I'm guessing this is for the houses trees, bushes, etc..

Is the total screen size the 160x240? So anything I draw within that size will be relative to the screen size?

So....again the tile are 8x16 each....you can make larger ones....i will split them then......no 160x240

you can send the images with raster....this makes it

easier for me.......i need trees , bushes , clouds ,

houses.....

I don't understand what "tiles" means. Do you mean like if I want an image, just build everything in 8 px by 16 px tiles? For example, if I wanted the happy face attached, break it up into multiple images?

Ok great. So then what is the overall "canvas" size, so that I can understand the character or background element relationship to the overall screen size? Is that the 160x240 size? Also, which 25 colors should I use?

Do not make images,which are too big.....try to make a small one and i see what i can do.....

A whole screen is made of many objects and 

different ones....so i put a screen together...

Ket us try an example....

make a house of this size

48x32  and i try to split it in pieces

Ok, I am starting to see how this works a little more. 

Attached is my original drawing at 48"x32", and then the reduced version at 48x32 pixels.

Here is a more simplified version, using less colors, with a screenshot to show it at 1600%. 

Let me know if any of this works for what you need, and I can make more houses, bushes, backgrounds, etc....

Cool, but you can use higher resolution: double it.

 

Very good start!

PacMan changes:

Higher/lower, more circular?

 

Or have you fixed it?

 

I’ll try to do some background, - I need to refresh some skills, so may take some time or hundred ‘takes’.

Ok. So it's at 72dpi. You want it at 144dpi, 48x32, correct?

And then if you have a palette to work from that'd be helpful. I believe we are keeping it to 25 colors, yes? On a 256 color palette?

@gambler172

 

try if these^ PacMan run-frames looks better.

[Giles N]

@aaron1677

try to use these for reference

(until I get more depth to my knowledge).

 

I think; pick 25 out of the colors in the images.

@gambler172

 

PacMan should move like this now:

 

Is it better/worse?
