sprites 8x8, 16x16 and single double sprites

[Serguei2]

After reading more the programming manual, colecovision can set either sprites 8x8 or 16x16 in whole game.

 

Is it correct?

 

Because many sprites I have are 16x16 and don't want to make sprites 16x16 just to make bullets, laser, ...

 

Also, I noted if I use double sprites, all the sprites are bigger.

 

Is it possible to set some sprites double but not all?

no. all or nothing.

 

so all double or none double.

 

So I just use 16x16 sprites for everything.

Thanks.

You can use double size on 1 screen. then use half size on another screen if you like girls garden does

 

large sprites for some scenes and normal sized sprites for other screens just can't mix in the same screen.

Thanks.

Thanks for the tip.

If you are programming for the F18A enhanced features, *each* sprite can have its own size, i.e. 8x8 or 16x16, horz and vert flip, and its own palette specifier. Sprites can be 1, 3, or 7 colors plus transparency. You can also give individual tiles priority over sprites, link sprites into bigger objects, and more.

If I want to make games everybody can enjoy, I'd better not using F18A mod.

 

Here a video I found about F18A mod.

btw, Serguei2, i think it is very important to understand the logic behind that - at http://bifi.msxnet.org/msxnet/tech/tms9918a.txtyou see that the bits 0 and 1 of the vdp register 1 (SI and MAG at “1.2) Registers” ) are related to this
