Subject: Sprites as text-files (SPECSAISIE)
Hi,
I downloaded Specasie 1.4 beta from the files section.
Er, I feel a bit shy asking this, but, er, how do I run it?
It looks like a collection of source code files, but no executable.
Do I need to compile it with a Java compiler?
It looks like I need to know the memory addresses of the sprites in advance in order to dump them... Is this documented anywhere?
Thanks & regards
Mark
