Okay, there are a total of 424 sprites to be able to edit, which is
> to include in my games a lot of sprites.
around err... well, whats 424 divided by 4? and thats how many
guardians you will be able to choose from (minus a few actually due
to the guardians that have 2 animations left and right)..
also, the following other graphics available to edit are as follows:
- earth = 64 tiles
- water = 64 tiles
- fire = 32 tiles
- ramps = 64 tiles (left and right)
- conveyor belts = 32
- crumbling blocks = 40 (including individual animations)
- air blocks = 16
- font letters etc. = 120 + 8(game over)
- items = 64 (though they are going to have to be reworked slightly)
- introduction screen
- title screen
- options screen (part of it)
- main game screen (the bottom part)
- the barrel and foot sprites for the game over sequence
- oh, and of course, willys 3 different animations (normal willy, the
flying pig, and the spaceman)
And thats about it.. i don't think i've forgotten anything, if i
have, let me know ;-)
Think this'll be enough?
