  Spent a bit of time tinkering with it last night and today.  Not on the game,  just converting the images.  As such, have a found a few well hidden oddities in one of the libraries.

    Nah,   There's a few size issues, so some of the frames should really be resized, to trim any dead pixels.  The Wind animation is a good example of this. Each frame in this animation is  640K (in memory), so the animation costs 640*18= 10240K (10meg) .   An overhead older computers can't really afford.

   What I was mainly tinkering with, was a way of automatically building Alpha channels for the foreground sprites.   Which can be seen in the picture bellow, although i've intensionally over accentuated it, so they look like ghosts.   

BlinkOk

if you want alpha channels i can easily re-render the sprites with 24bit alpha

24bit for the Alpha channel is overkill.  8bit is fine.

Hi Kevin

ahh see what you meen , maybe another way of doing wind effect then , most pc's these days have gfx cards that have a minium of 32 meg , ahh i remember my first pc with 512k gfx card , i take it i cant play it on that then , haha

ile leave the alpha channel stuff to the experts as i have no idea about that at all yet , but i can see the effect your talking about and it looks quite good.

i look forward to your code..

i disagree. 8bit produces jagged edges and trying to fix that up on the fly rather than letting an image app do it just doesn't make sense.

 Pixel intensities (A,R,G,B) are only 8bit.  The extra bits are lost..

BlinkOk

if you get it looking as good as the flash one i'll believe you

Well, if you know better, do it yourself.
