DarkDread getting better???

I think that he's one of the best CSRPG-sprite-drawer I know

My ego thanks you for your contribution. :)

...seriously though... I'm not that good. I consider my skills to be slightly above average, at best. There are a heapload of people who are way better spriters, when it comes to RPGs, than I. Anyway, it gives me all the more reason to improve my skills. It's almost like a little friendly competition, heh.

I would sell my soul for programming skills and a longer attention span around programming lanuages...
I mean, darkdread can code, do music, AND pixel art! How many people can do that? Not me, I can only do pixel art and music.

Coding isn't that hard... just start small and work your way up. Read some graphics tutorials at qbasicnews, then move to my buffering article, then study the source to msong or maybe "...in the Nocturne"

If you ever have problems, I'm almost always on. Right now I'm in my 3D animation class though.

Perhaps it IS some sort of godlike power.

Anyway, I love the tiles Dark Dread, but if I could offer my huble opinion I'd say the colours are off. There's nothing in particular wrong with them, but the flat greys combined with the hugely saturated red give it this kind of default palette vibe that I find distasteful. All I'd suggest is taking a certain angle for the colours and going with it. I could post an image of what I mean if you care. Of course if you're working with a limited palette that brings up some more concerns.

Programming IS some sort of godly power... and I want to learn C++ and/or python, not qb.

heh... don't forget though, I can't code worth crap... so saying I'm good at it is seriously stretching the truth. :p

Never underestimate what can be learned from an assembly language for a simple computer (Like the Gameboy). But that tends to scare many veterans too. :) :)

oh oh oh z80 asm rocks. I much enjoy using ASM on smaller machines than C...it seems to make more sense with the memory constraints. We had a C dev kit for some z80 machine i used to work on....but I usually wrote most of it in ASM and linked it in. Sorry, I'll quit now.

Learning a little assembler really helped me understand whats going on inside a computer and how compilers do the things they do, or I should say, why programming languages are the way they are. If that makes any sense I don't know.

if you don't know asm, because all C is is calling routines written in asm.

And as far as examining source goes I've never found that a help, I dunno why but I can't read other-peoples code. All you need to do is think about a problem enough and you will get a solution, and if its not that efficiant someone will tell you how to improve it if you upload it, or you'll improve in other area's and be able to aplie them to the original problem.

Bots are getting smart...

...also, good at dredging up eight-year-old threads with embarrassingly archaic posts from a whiny, dim-witted, adolescent version of myself from 2003. Ouch. :)

Hmm... now I am confused by your ostensible human-ness conflicting with the bot-like link in your signature. I think I may be missing something crucial here. (my apologies if I have mistaken you for a bit of code)
