Characters In a new style

[Plokman]

Technically, the graphics used by NES and others limited to 4 colors (counting transparency) are 2-bit. This is because 0-3 are the indices on NES sprites' palettes, which is also the number of values a 2-bit integer can count to. A true 8-bit sprite can have up to 256 colors (indexed 0-255).

Hmm that makes alot of sense base off my knowledge of 8-bit system workings. Huh I guess that means in the case of old Arcade game kill screens the level number isn't 256 its 257. If you take my meaning.

Boy, what a quotamid we've got going here. And, yes, in a way, it's 257, since level 0 reads as level 1 in most games. Which is very odd, since the integer simply wraps around back to 0 when it overflows in newer systems, which leads me to believe this is a failsafe implemented after these past overflow errors happened, and isn't really normal behavior.

In response to the sprites themselves, Ralph's arms and legs are going in sync with each other, and it makes him look like he's waddling. They should be counter-synced.

Indeed the Quotamind is getting tall. Hmm should we prune this Word shrub before it gets out of hand?

That makes quite alot of sense. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Dig Dug and Galaga were all early games and they may have been the thing to make programers set a buffer and make sure the number overflowed back around.

As for Pac Ralph how on earth did I mess his arm swings up. A minor edit is all I need to fix the arms and legs.
But still how did I mess that up? I'm such a doink.

These should look much better.


Not 100% though. Any advice for this my good chap?
