SPRITEXY

Description

SPRITEXY

This command changes the x,y position of a sprite. The sprite will appear at its new coordinates after executing the DRAWSPRITES command.

It is a direct form of placing a sprite on an specific x,y coordinate.

If you want the sprite to move automatically on each DRAWSPRITES execution you should use SPRITEMOVEXY instead.

SPRITEXY?

This command gets the current position of a sprite, and stores the values, x and y coordinates, in two variables.

If your questions are:

• Is the sprite out of view?
• How to know its position?
• It is behind the mouse pointer?

Then this is your sprite command.
