Type the examples into your computer. RUN and SAVE them for
future reference. One of the best ways to learn programming is to
study program examples and see how the statements perform their
functions. You'll soon be able to use graphics statements to create
impressive graphics with your Commodore 128.
If you need more information on any BASIC statement or command,
consult the Chapter V, BASIC 7.0 Encyclopedia.
You now have a set of graphic commands that allow you to create an
almost unlimited number of graphics displays. But Commodore 128
graphics abilities do not end here. The Commodore 128 has another
set of statements, known as SPRITE graphics, which make the crea
tion and control of graphic images fast, easy and sophisticated.
These high-level statements allow you to create sprites—moveable
graphic objects. The C128 has its own built-in SPRite DEFinition abil
ity. These statements represent the newiechnology for creating and
controlling sprites. Read the next section and take your first step in
learning computer animation.
