How To
Character moving, and trying to understand graphics.

I've been using LowRes NX for a while now, I am pretty much familiar with most of the basics. I want to be able to make 2D games.
I know how to make my sprites show up, but I always mess up trying to get the sprite to be controllable (It just doesn't go the way I want it to).
Also, I want to know how to make sprite animations. I have a small running animation setup, but I don't know how to make it work.
I can't understand the manual very well, so I'm still trying to figure out graphics on my own, but it just always doesn't go the way I want them to be.

this is how you control sprites with the gamepad
now you don't have to use SUB MOVE like I did
you can just place the following chunk of code in the DO LOOP
IF UP(0) THEN
DEC Y
END IF
IF DOWN(0) THEN
INC Y
END IF
IF RIGHT(0) THEN
INC X
END IF
IF LEFT(0) THEN
DEC X
END IF
SPRITE 0,X,Y,1

the reason for the 0 in UP(0) is because there is one gamepad
if you made 2 gamepads GAMEPAD 2 then it would be UP(1) (just incase you didn't know)
so the way this works is it constantly checks to see if and what part of the gamepad was touched and then increases or decreases X and/or Y by one and the sprite is able to go diagonally because I'm using 4 different if statements
the second SPRITE 0,X,Y,1 will constantly update the sprites X and Y postion
and that's basically it

I know how to do sprite animation but there are other people who can explain it a lot better than I can
its not complicated I just can't explain well for some reason

im guessing for sprite animation you can do something like this:
say the frames of the sprite range from 1 to 8
for every frame, add 1 to the accumulator which loops from 1-8, and change the sprite according to that number.
F=1
DO
...
SPRITE 0,X,Y,F
ADD F,1,1 TO 8
WAIT VBL
LOOP
