Thanks Giovanni! There are many ways to achieve smooth motion on position restricted blittings. It all depends on what one wants to do or what the game needs to find the best appropriate technique. My free-intention examples have downsides like objects going over others or a too big of a bitmap for ...

I also made one last version attempting to make the balls more properly bounce. It works ok, but I just hacked the code. Anyways, This is the result: https://i.ibb.co/8LcJvg7G/MESS.gif And here this one final version: Press any key to start. 'Bouncing Balls v1.2 '--- BOOT bo: SCREEN #14:COLOR #0,#5:...

Here is the code with all balls moving over a white background. 'Bouncing Balls v1.1 '--- BOOT bo: SCREEN #14:COLOR #0,#5:CLS 3 :'Set PMODE4 / COLOR B&W / Clear screen black b:=LOAD ATLAS("ball.png") FRAME SIZE (24,16) :'Load bitmap and frames '---VARIABLES DIM x(8):DIM y(8) :'Ball X a...

MULTIBALL!
Go for the Jackpot!

Hello back Giovanni,
I made a post on the Snippet session with an example.
It bounces a little ball around the screen in pmode 4 artifact colors.

It should help you doing the pixel perfect motion.
Also, I can't see your posted images.

Here is the commented code and needed assets. I made a total of 8 different colored balls. Later I hope to make em all move. Change the WAIT value at the end to control speed. You can mess with F to see the other balls. https://i.ibb.co/xtnD1x73/ball.png 'Bouncing Balls v1.0 '--- BOOT SCREEN #14:COL...

It is not unusual that within 8bit computers, fast blitting graphics may have some form of position limitation. On some machines you have a grid where to place bitmaps, like tiles. Others you are limited to certain horizontal positions. One can shift bytes in memory to overcome these problems but th...

Hi Giovani, Blitting at the byte border is the fastest possible way, as Marco said. Same thing happens in DECB with GET/PUT commands, if you mess with the G parameter it will only PUT on byte border and you get a speed increase. Anyways, in ugBasic, adding extra frames is the best to keep the speed ...

The copyright is your call but I see no problem in doing so. The codes on those books are simple and truly nothing really copyrighteable, you are probably going to improve on them and rewrite them as you will want to avoid the structure of code flow attached to the line numbers. I have done it befor...

And here is a video of Antonio Caballero testing the ugBasic app with the real hardware:
