Contains Ready-to-Run Programs of Sprite Graphics for Beginners

At last! A workbook for creating sprites, custom characters, and screens on the Commodore 64!The C64 is one of the best things to come out of the 1980's. For the first time, we could create our own games and utilities. And those sprites! Screen objects we could move and manipulate however we wanted! How many of you remember counting squares on a sheet of graph paper, marking the lines to show the proper sprite shape, before you could even start designing the sprite itself?The handy templates in this book make designing elements for your programs easier. Sprites, custom characters, even screen layouts--the templates eliminate the need to mark and measure graph paper, which means you can dive right in to designing.Includes templates for 100 sprites, 450 custom characters, and 50 screens.
