[TIB] Re: games
i'm gonna reply to both of these at once. first of all, wow. that is way more
complicated stuff than i have used. but i can learn. first of all, you really
need to show me how to do this. i understand what you said, but i have no way
to even possibly fathom how to do it.
first, how would i make library thingy to hold my sprites, how do i make the
sprites, and how doi use them.
secondly,the exact same questions but with bitmaps and matrix stuff.
thank you for your patience, i know teaching a newb is often very stressful.
