Multi-color sprite problem

[boski]

I just started batari basic a few weeks ago, and I can't figure this one out. I'm trying to create a multicolor sprite, but it always comes out all black. I've tried rearranging the commands, but the result is always the same. Here's my most recent code:

 

player0:

%00011100

%00011000

%00111100

%00111110

%00111100

%00111000

%00011000

%00011000

end

 

player0x=45

player0y=60

 

Main

 

 

COLUBK=$EE

 

player0color:

$40

$D0

$D0

$5E

$5E

$5E

$2E

$2E

end

 

drawscreen

goto Main

 

 

Also, I can't figure out the "set kernel multisprite" command. I never get an error message, but only two large sprites and an enlarged portion of the playfield show up in the emulator.

 

Thank you anyone for any help!

end

  COLUBK=$EE

  player0color:

  $D0
  $D0
  $5E
  $5E

  $2E
  $2E
end

  goto Main_Loop

Here's one way you can do it:

 

 

  set kernel_options player1colors

  player1:
  %00011100
  %00011000
  %00111100
  %00111110
  %00111100
  %00111000
  %00011000
  %00011000
end

  player1x=45
  player1y=60





Main_Loop


  COLUBK=$EE

  player1color:
  $40
  $D0
  $D0
  $5E
  $5E
  $5E
  $2E
  $2E
end

  drawscreen

  goto Main_Loop

First thing I'd do is search the bB forum for Multisprite programs that people have posted and look at their code.

In using the multi color sprite kernel (both players) is it possible to toggle it off then back on so I could use the missiles?

 

For example, write the code to make the sprite one solid color when a missile is fired, then once the missile clears, go back to multi colors?
