Is anyone willing to try and incorporate my new sprite into the game?
I also made a background that is very pleasing and harmonizes with the sprite. The problem is as we all know the current background is tiled.
My new background needs to be stretched to fit the screen, and also the view of the camera should be closer to make the sprite appear larger so that you can appreciate the visual allure of the sprite, which is very cool, I think. Can't compare with current game from a visual perspective, which is void of any visual appeal other than the texture of the asteroids / boulders...
Another problem with my new sprite, which I took quite some effort to make, is that the background is black and so is not going transparent, so is ruining the appearance as you get this sprite with black rectangles around it... The sprite's detail also cannot be appreciated since the camera is too far and hence the sprite is too tiny to see and appreciate the artistic detail that went into it, there should be a setting function in the game where you can set the camera distance so you can enjoy the visual appeal of my new design - both sprite and background... Anyone able to do this please pm me and I'll send the new graphics. I think it looks very nice, spent a few days on the sprite actually in 2014 or 2015, I don't recall... almost thought I lost the files after HD crash, but found it amazingly enough...
I had a look at the game code and I *think* the .bmp of the bike rider and bike isn't just an ordinary .bmp, but it actually has "objects" inside it that tell the game where the wheels are. Though I'm not 100% sure, can someone check please?
