Re: Perl/Tk Space Invaders Game/Sprite Class

just a question,

Where did you get the data for the gifs from? i've been searching around the web and haven't found anything that would give out such information willingly. i don't have excellent web-fu skills so if you could point me to some documentation or give an abstract that would help immensely.

thanks for any help,
jynx

The gifs were hand drawn in GIMP and Paintshop. In order to use them with Tk as internal -data you have to base-64 encode them. As an added step I then put that N12N trick in to shorten them up a bit (otherwise there were lines and lines of identical text -- unused colormap entries). They're terrible little images. If I didn't mind copyright infractions I'd have F12's the real thing from xmame.	[reply]
