ugBASIC User Manual

This example shows how to automatically create a multicolor sprite, in order to have more than one color. You can have sprites with up to SPRITE COUNT independent colors.

 
 BITMAP ENABLE (16)
 
 spriteImageColor := LOAD IMAGE("sprite_color.png")
 
 spriteColor = CSPRITE(spriteImageColor)
 
 SPRITE spriteColor ENABLE
 
 SPRITE spriteColor AT 100,100
