Sprite editing/creating

[onan1972]

Hi,

Is there a suggested way of creating AGD game sprites outside of the AGD sprite editor and then copying them in somehow?

I did read I think that copy/paste into the sprite editor in AGD works, but just wondered if other methods exist?

Thanks in advance.

Onan.

ZX-Paintbrush is your best choice, it's a powerful and versatile tool.

You can save all your sprites and the relative frames in a single screen file as a TAP or TZX files, then load it while in AGD to copy and paste them into the Sprite Editor via the scratchpad. However be cautios because this feature is rather buggy (see this thread).

Hi,

Thanks for that will look.

I also have one small problem, when in AGD and in Text/Messages editor, when I press X to make a new message, I am stuck forever in edit mode and it won't let me get back to main menu?

I worked it out - it was CTRL-A!

Or better said, STOP (SYMBOL SHIFT+A), since AGD is supposed to run on a genuine 128K Spectrum
