can you maybe give an example of how to link 2 grayscale buffers and put it on the screen?
for the simple sprites i used monochromelib of pierrot

i dont know, for bigger sprites i use this routine:

Code: Select all

void DrawPicture (int x,int y,int width,int height,unsigned char * pGraph)
{
    DISPGRAPH dg;
    dg.x = x;
    dg.y = y;
    dg.GraphData.width = width;
    dg.GraphData.height = height;
    dg.GraphData.pBitmap = pGraph;
    dg.WriteModify = IMB_WRITEMODIFY_NORMAL;
    dg.WriteKind = IMB_WRITEKIND_OVER;
    Bdisp_WriteGraph_DDVRAM(&dg);
}

and i can call the sprites using a code like this:

Code: Select all

DrawPicture (12, 0,104,11,SPRITE_NAME);

Disadvantage: doesnt support grayscales.

You can use this tool to convert sprites (without grayscales) : Link Dead

Does somebody still have a download link to sprite studio? I just found one on UCF but it's dead.
