MOVSPR
—Position or move sprite on the screen
1) MOVSPR number,x,y Place the specified sprite at absolute
coordinate x,y.
2) MOVSPR number, +/-x, +/-y
Move sprite relative to the position of the
pixel cursor.
3) MOVSPR number,x;y Move sprite distance x at angle y relative
to the pixel cursor.
4) MOVSPR number, angle # speed
Move sprite at an angle (x) relative to its
original coordinates, in the clockwise
direction and at the specified speed (y).
where:
number is sprite.'s number (1 through 8)
<,x,y> is coordinate of the sprite location.
ANGLE is the angle (0-360) of motion in the clockwise direction rela
tive to the sprites original coordinate.
SPEED is a speed (0-15) in which the sprite moves.
This statement locates a sprite at a specific location on the screen-
according to the SPRITE coordinate plane (not the bit map plane) or
initiates sprite motion at a specified rate. See MOVSPR in Section 6
for a diagram of the sprite coordinate system.
A sprite that is OFF (see SPRITE command) will not move until it
is turned ON. The BASIC program continues execution after the
MOVSPR command; any motion will continue automatically until
you stop it or alter its course.
EXAMPLES:
MOVSPR 1,150,150
MOVSPR 1, +20,-30
MOVSPR 4, -50, +100
MOVSPR 5, 45 #15
MOVSPR 1,0 #0
Position sprite 1 near the center of
the screen, x,y coordinate 150,150.
Move sprite 1 to the right 20
coordinates and up 30 coordinates.
Move sprite 4 to the left 50
coordinates and down 100
coordinates.
Move sprite 5 at a 45 degree angle
in the clockwise direction, relative to
its original x and y coordinates. The
sprite moves at the fastest rate (15).
Stops sprite 1.
