hello everyone!

I am new and not familiar with TBXL

Where can I find the documentation for managing SPRITES and graphics. 
Thanks for the reply

New to what, TBXL, Atari 8-bit computers, programming in general?

Here is a good position about PMG in Basic:

In TBXL you can improve it later ofcourse.

TBXL only

Ok, you are advanced as I see. So good luck, and then in the future return to a link I gave you

Check this thread for a PM routine: Multipurpose PM Engine

 

Check out this book for a good overview on graphics in Atari BASIC and in general: Compute's 1st Book of Atari Graphics

 

[Note: 99% of all Atari BASIC programs/techniques will work with TBXL, only faster.]

Turbo BASIC XL doesn’t have dedicated P/M commands but some that make it easier to use the “normal” BASIC techniques.

Here's some decent documentation for TBXL itself.

The main advantage TurboBASIC XL will give you is the MOVE command, to move large blocks of memory around (for moving the player/missile data vertically).  It also has some bitwise operations, which may be handy, depending on what you need to do. (It could help with individual missiles, I imagine.)

 

Good luck!
