My sister got the the art/graphic design skills genes dammit. What I got, was a big fat confidence building *zero* ( 'seems to have no real talent' ) in art at school! My crime? Screwing up the perspective in a drawing homework task. None of the, here's how you should have done it friendly chat.. simply the put downs and the implied threat of corporal punishment for apparent sloth and incompetence. Hey ho, those were the days! So, as a result, while my agile brain sees, and my wild wild imagination conjours up fantastic images, the hand-to-eye leaves a lot to be desired. Cheers Mr Crappy Art Teacher, cheers.

Actually, someone did do me an off-the-cuff sprite sheet, which I'm sure he'll happily donate, however, their manipulation within swfc/as2 gave me so much grief I gave up and hand crafted a few SVGs to save time. > Chris I appreciate your efforts... Thanks. Like I said Ricardo, it's a start. There's a lot of tweaking yet to be done, and more code here which implements other stuff. It was getting out of hand - over 2500 lines - so, I've left it out for now, while I tidy what is already there. It didn't help that I jiggered version one, and had to start again. That brings back more 'fond' memories.. good old Sir Clive's ZX81 and it's wobbly 16k Ram pack. One nice little wobble ( without the necessary tape save ), and bye bye large portion of z80 assembler! Cheers for the support. Chris -- <[email protected]>
