SpriteEdit

by Dan Hussain and Chris Tossing

Introduction

Welcome to SpriteEdit's homepage. SpriteEdit is designed to make creating sprites for the TI-82, TI-83, TI-85, and TI-86 calculators easier. Here you can find SpriteEdit executables for Windows 95/NT/3.1, the Visual Basic 3.0/4.0 support dlls, screen shots of the program, and a list of features and future plans.

SpriteEdit is designed for the average Z80 assembly language programmer for the TI-80 line of Texas Instrument's programmable calculators. SpriteEdit can be used to create sprites, or small pictures that can be drawn to the screen. With the proper assembly commands, the sprite can be maneuvered around the screen to achieve any desired affect. SpriteEdit is appropriate for all levels of programmers, from beginers to advanced assembly game programmers.

For more information about TI calculators, visit the Texas Instrument's homepage. For information about assembly language programming and sprites, visit TI-Calc.Org. And, for more specific information about the TI-85 calculator, go to Dan's Homepage.
