Creating games with Backbone - Step by Step for beginners!

[XDelusion]

I created a Sprite Sheet and saved it as a PNG. I then converted it to an uncompressed IFF file with PPaint, and BackBone insists that it is not a valid IFF image.

I Take it the "Less Colors" option is not what I'm looking for?

Where do I need to go in PPaint to do this?

Thank you!

Make sure to convert it to 8, 16, 32, or 64 colors. 32 and 64 colors only work in 320x200 EHB mode. It won't load properly, if you don't have it matching the proper color settings in Backbone.


Really wish someone would disassemble it, so we could enhance it.

Cool, looking forward to seeing it!

And here I thought it was badger rather than bat or back.

Here is an update to my game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2imuiHEWKk

There are somethings to fix but is progressing nicely.

I'll use same music for now on each level until I find suitable ones for each level.

Looking good!
