VSPRITES 1.0
A QuickBASIC 4.5 and Microsoft Professional BASIC 7.1
sprite/graphics library
This program is released as shareware, it may be freely copied and
distributed as long as none of the files are modified in anyway.
VSPRITES is a collection of graphic routines designed for manipulating
sprites in VGA mode 320 x 200 with 256 colors. By using a "tweaked" VGA
mode, it allows you to have four screen pages which can be used to create
flicker free sprite animation with page-flipping.
I originally wrote these routines for myself because I wanted to make
a game but, after spending four months programing, I decided to compile
and release this library to make it easier for other programers to
develop games.
There are a lot of new features and improvements I want to add to the
next version like smooth scrolling, user defined fonts, collision
detection, additional sprite support and more. If I get enough support,
I am even thinking about writing a specialized game development
language.
If you like this program and find it useful and you want to see it
continue to develop, please send $15.00 to register.
Registered users will receive the lastest version of VSPRITES + source
code. I will also send you a shareware screen capture program called
PCXDUMP which can be used to grab screens from you favorite paint program
for use with VSPRITES.
