Re: displaying and animating UDG's on the spectrum

got the UDG on screen finally but what if I wanted to use a joystick (cursor keys in this case, I don't have an actual spectrum), how would I do that?

displaying and animating UDG's on the spectrum

I can enter the binary data well enough but how do I display it? I'm not talking about poking the data for the small ones either. Commodore allows you to show the sprite, the C128 has a sprite command. How do I do this on the spectrum?

Data bin (numbers) then what?

I get error 5 at line 50, any reason why? anyway, would love suggestions for gameplay (never read the novel) requires 16k rampack wish me luck Added graphics and a general store. First enemy added. ...
