Re: A89: Programming Problem




I think you're mistaken, although I have no experience with this
"library" routine. An integer is 16 bits wide, which is what the routine
(should) expect. So your sprite should be like this:

static unsigned int ball[] = {0x3c00, 0x7e00, 0xff00, 0xff00,
0xff00,0xff00, 0x7e00, 0x3c00,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0};

Note the 8 extra zeros. This is a 16x16 sprite routine, so I would
assume it needs to be that
