How to convert sprites and add them in my simple game? - NeoGeoFreak2004 - 08-07-2023
hey guys so anyways i am working on a basic game for the neo-geo pocket color, and i want to convert sprites for the color (not monochrome neo geo pocket.) but is there any programs on how to do that? i know how to create sprites, but how do i convert them into c code?

You can take some time to read chris ahchay's dev blog: https://ahchayblog.wordpress.com/ngpc-development/
Learn a bit of C, like how to use #include
and don't hesitate to copy/paste code from others.multiple sprites = multiple calls to SetSprite with different parameters.

so anyways, i have a piece of code that will compile and run but it gives me a warning when compiling, the warning says: THC1-Warning-578: Illegal function call 'SetSprite', too many actual parameters
IDK What that means so can you help me please.
RE: How to convert sprites and add them in my simple game? - sodthor - 08-09-2023
SetSprite has 6 parameters, this warning occurs when you tried to call it with 7 or more.

thanks for the suggestion but when I ran the sprite test program that i compiled, the sprite was tiny, so i want it like say 8x8 sprites so how do i make it bigger?
RE: How to convert sprites and add them in my simple game? - sodthor - 08-09-2023
ngpc sprites are 8x8, for bigger display, use several sprites. for example 4 for 16x16. "Chaining" parameter is'used to link sprites together.
