Thread: baby sprt

/*
Dos/Adom fans:

I haven't been on this brd in over a yr., (busy, sidetracked)
and I don't know if he still visits, but IAIN once published
a baby sprite example on a site he had going (sorry, but I
don't have the addrs). Some may recall the Cursor Driven
Menu system he did here a good while back -- (nice,
as it clued newbies to the workings of such menu designs).

Here's a revamp of the aforementioned sprite driver --
this one able to scroll a larger space than that windowed,
(perhaps the actual scrn size, in the case of a rogue or RPG).

Array size, window size and scrn offsets are #definable, or
single-loc sets. I'll leave barriers, cursor choice and further
color / collision detction to the user, 4 shrt post.

Enjoy. If anyone knows IAIN or EMIL's mail I would appreciate.
