TIB: sprite in basic




There are no sprites in basic.  If you draw a picture on the graph screen, you
cannot save just the little sprite, you have to save the whole screen.  So the
only way to get this to work would be to draw an individual picture for each
position of the sprite.  That would take up a lot of mem.  So, instead, most
people use characters.  They would do something like:

1->A
1->B
Lbl MOVE
Text(A,B,"&"

Then they would do a getky command to let them add to A and B, thus making the
character in a different place.
