Hi
So I made Mario sprite from mario world (1990). I tried using was8bits advice but I couldn’t really wrap my head around it.
You can use it if you want
But pls credit me and Nintendo

So you have a good start ... if you think of something to add, don't hesitate to ask for help if needed... i promise to keep it simple and work with what you are using :)

Lesson#1 :)
Instructions inside...
"REM AND THE LAST PAGE IS FOR YOUR FONT SET
REM WHICH WOULD ONLY LEAVE YOU WITH MORE CHARACTERS"
Should read
REM AND THE LAST PAGE IS FOR YOUR FONT SET
REM WHICH WOULD ONLY LEAVE YOU WITH 2 MORE PAGES

So, no matter what you do, you may only use at any one time....
Color palletes 0-7
Sprites 0-63
Graphic cells 0-255 (this includes a font set)
Layers 0-1 of backgrounds sized 32x32 with only a seen window of 20x16

You may DESIGN bigger background layouts, but memory only allows a portion sized 32x32 that can be placed on a layered-background

Remember that LOWRESNX is a simulation of programing for a simulated handheld device (like gameboy color) so you have hardware limitations, storage limitations, save memory limitations, cartridge memory limitations, and processor speed limitations...
Your game CANNOT exceed any of these built in limitations...
While you are programming any game, tap the little "help" option below, and EVERYTHING you want to know is there... its just alot to sort thru...

These three lessons should give you a better feel for how lowres works :)
