One of the things I need for this game, of course, is a 4-directional animated frog sprite. But I can't sprite those kinds of things for my life. So I'm hoping someone will be able to help me out. The sprite would have to be 16x16 pixels with a 15 color palette (the 16th color is transparency). For animation - either the frog is standing still, or is hopping. The hopping part needs some frames of animation in 4 directions, but the standing part doesn't have to have any animation. Of course you'd be credited in the game (not that it means much for a school project), either your screenname or real name, your choice. --------------------

Or is it color #16 regardless which color that is? EDIT: Does it HAVE to be a frog or can you just make it a Frogger-esque game and use Mario graphics :P This post has been edited by Draco Icebane on Oct 23 2005, 05:29 PM

I don't think it matters since it would easy to recolor it anyway

Dude have you ever worked with strict-coded graphics engines before

It always either MUST be an exact color (ie 255/0/255) or MUST be an exact palette entry (ie palette entry 0)

Catalyst Group: Members Posts: 18290 Member No.: 52 Joined: 13-October 03 Status: (0d)	I'll be reformatting them to my own graphics format anyway, so it doesn't matter. Just up to 15 colors, with a 16th color reserved as a transparency color. Actually transparency will always be the first palette entry, but it's easy enough for me to rearrange a palette. --------------------

Catalyst Group: Members Posts: 18290 Member No.: 52 Joined: 13-October 03 Status: (0d)	There's actually another technical detail about the palette. Mode 13h graphics have a color range from 0-63 instead of 0-255, so all color components (RGB) should be multiples of 4. Otherwise colors like (100,0,0) and (102,0,0) could end up being the same after conversion. Still, it's only a minor detail and not a huge concern. --------------------

Colors that are less than four apart are so similar that making them the same shouldn't really change the sprite anyway
