you could just use premade graphics. or have someone make them for you.

you are crazy. make a damned editor in qb, or a converter using the "point" function. and don't ask me how, there's plenty of examples

Draw the image in your favorite image editor, save as a 256 color bitmap, get PP256, re-save the image in bsave format. Or just draw it in PP256 in the first place. Then use this:
Code:
' Uncomment the following to generate a bsaved image "delme.bsv" to
' test this with:
'SCREEN 13
'DIM a%(1 TO 1000)
'COLOR 12: PRINT "A";
'COLOR 10: PRINT "S";
'COLOR 9: PRINT "C";
'GET (0, 0)-(23, 7), a%
'DEF SEG = VARSEG(a%(1))
'BSAVE "delme.bsv", VARPTR(a%(1)), 24 * 8 + 4
'DEF SEG
'DO: LOOP UNTIL LEN(INKEY$)
'SCREEN 0
'WIDTH 80
PRINT "Sterling's BSAVE to DATA statement converter."
PRINT "Should work perfectly with any sprite saved in BSAVE format from PP256."
PRINT
PRINT "Enter the filename of the bsaved image:"
LINE INPUT "> ", bsv$
PRINT "Enter the filename of BAS file to append DATA statements to:"
LINE INPUT "> ", bas$
' Open FOR INPUT to cause an error if the file doesn't exist.
OPEN bsv$ FOR INPUT AS #1: CLOSE #1
OPEN bsv$ FOR BINARY AS #1
SEEK #1, 8
OPEN bas$ FOR APPEND AS #2
GET #1, , imageWidth%
GET #1, , imageHeight%
imageWidth% = imageWidth% \ 8
PRINT #2, "' Image width:"; imageWidth%;
PRINT #2, " height:"; imageHeight%
FOR y% = 1 TO imageHeight%
pixel% = ASC(INPUT$(1, #1)) ' program will have an error on this line
' if the sprite is corrupt or truncated
PRINT #2, USING "DATA ###"; pixel%;
FOR x% = 2 TO imageWidth%
pixel% = ASC(INPUT$(1, #1)) ' program will have an error on this line
' if the sprite is corrupt or truncated
PRINT #2, USING ",###"; pixel%;
NEXT x%
PRINT #2, ""
NEXT y%
CLOSE #2
CLOSE #109-01-2003, 07:23 AM
