I tried integrating Raven's code into my script, constantly moving things around and trying new stuff. Well...at first it'd crash before it'd even open, but now it crashes as soon as the program actually starts.

I've included my entire engine code as it is right now, and I was wondering if anyone can PLEASE point out what's crashing it on me please?

Thank you. I hate being such an idiot.

PS: Please ignore the following part of my code:
rem NoFlip = 0, Flip = 0
f = 0

It's no longer in use and I simply forgot to remove it.

You're filling the stack, and it's because you don't quite understand the gosub command.

Gosub is a temporary jump. You use it to jump to a short piece of code. At the end of that section of code, you use the 'return' command to return to the jump point.



With that in mind, I'd suggest you rewrite

I've made quite a few changes to the code since then.

My problem atm seems to be that even though I set the equation in the for statement to get the images at a certain size, it's grabbing them out at a different size instead. Cutting my sprite's feet off, and making the image slices wide enough to see more than just the desired sprite. This is probably also why my animations don't seem to work...at all.

Code is attached. Thank you.

If your images are 40x43, why are you cutting out 44x40 from your bitmap?

Try this instead:

My gosh...I thought I had the values right. I didnt' know I had them the wrong way around.

Okay, so -now- my problem is that it's still not animating, and the sprite flippy thingy doesn't work right. (Sometimes I'll see a flash of it mirrored, but then it just goes right back)

[b]) you should put a little bit of information about what your program does, or about yourself, this problem seems too complicated (from your thread title), and the first post should have a hook to draw others in to help you.

good luck tho

Screw "a little bit" of information. lol...
The code is in the Source button, and here's a link to the EXE, the image, and the song I use...

http://66.183.247.250/5Horizons/SpriteTest2.exe
http://66.183.247.250/5Horizons/zhaytee_kraid-adagio.mp3

Any and all help is appreciated.

your very brave posting code of this quality on here, you know these guys are flame war ninjas :-s

looks good so far, but i do have some suggestions

1. Code in this state should Never disable the escapekey, it's just too early for that

2. when using a subroutine, such as 'move left', 1 thing to ask yourself is, does this code need to only happen on 'move left', or will it happen anyway, if it happens everytime it should be included in tthe main loop (to avoid duplicating code in every option

Looks like you got a good start on it, i threw in an actiontype variable but it is not implemented.

if you want i can make more animations with that little guy, but would be better to get a char with clean copyright.

Do or do not, there is no try. -Yoda

You beat my code senseless. I really can't keep track of what all that stuff you did was. Everything you added makes little to no sense to me even reading the comments you made.

Sorry I havn't been around in a long while, but I had decided to take a break from the coding because the rest of my group became less enthusiastic about the project.

Anyways...I'm still entirely unsure about any of that stuff you did. However thank you anyways LuciferX.

It's just gonna take me a while to work my head around that code. *sighs*

btw, I like using other keys than the escapekey. I just disabled it cuz I found out how and decided to have a little fun. lol.

Cya.
