Does this support tiled graphics or real time sprite flipping ?

[Samurai_Crow]

Tiles, yes! Sprite flipping is not supported by the Amiga chipset.

I don't mean for backgrounds but for character sprites.

Neither sprites nor bobs can be flipped horizontally by any Amiga chipset. You'll just have to pre-flip them into additional buffers of chip RAM.

Tiles are supported, the size can be 8x8, 16x16, 24x24 or 32x32.

No real time sprite flipping, but when loading a spritesheet it can calculate the flipped graphics automatically. It will still consume 2x memory but can save some editing time.

8x8 tile support? very neat, never realised that!

Yeah, here is one example [ Show youtube player ]

I meant using tiled sprites for actors like they did in final fight or mortal kombat.

Oh! I think you might need to use Scorpion Engine for that. I'm not certain though. Graphics.library had something similar but the code wasn't optimal. It was called AnimOb structures. I found an alignment fix for the AnimComp that AnimOb structures are made of, but I don't know how well circulated it became. (It just required adding a pad word to the beginning of the structure allocation and removing it again at the deallocation.)

Nope not supported in scorpion yet but hopefully in the future.

I have some doubts to start with redpill

+ if I want to put a background image, what resolution should I have? I'm going to work on windows pc, what format should I pass the image to, iff?? Any program to convert it?

+ same as before but for sounds, what format should the sounds I use in red pill be in?

Thanks in advance

If you don't have scroll and just want a background, you can use an image of 320x256.

If you have the image in PNG Redpill will convert it to IFF. But be sure to use 256 colors or less. This palette should be the same you use for your moving objects too.

For sounds you should use 8 bit 8SVX IFF files.

Congrats to The creators!!! Capitan Trueno for Amstrad CPC was one of my favourite games, very well designed. A pity the port is using the colored PC graphics, but great work overall!
