which putsprite? there's one out there that screws up the findpixel part.
it'll put the sprite in weird places sometimes.

are you clearing the screen before drawing them each time? it's slow but
a good way to start graphics for beginners. you might just be clearing
the screen before moving left or right and not up or down. i guess that
shouldn't make a difference if you're masking the sprite anyway.

try downloading a sprite routine from the guide:
http://guide.ticalc.org/download/sdr.zip. you can take a line-by-line
walk through of the routines in there at
http://guide.ticalc.org/intermediate/spri.htm. i'll try to make another
section on sprites for the guide. it's kind of lacking in that area. i'm
not very knowledgable when it comes to sprites.
