Hello.
I have a question about the "sprite" (Sonic) sample that comes in SGDK.
in relation to frameChanged () and sprTileIndexes []. They load the enemy's sprites into VRAM, but when I create a wave of new enemies with they appear again in the VRAM part, in the part dedicated to sprites. How do I load the sprites that were previously loaded in VRAM instead of adding them back to VRAM?

Now I can choose which VRAM address I will add my Sprite to, with SPR_setVRAMTileIndex(); but I would like to do otherwise. I would like to add on the screen, an Sprite that comes from that specific address.

Hey

As you can see in the Sonic sample, enemies sprite sheet is preloaded in VRAM and indexes are stored in an array, then when frame changed i just set the VRAM index for the sprite to the desired VRAM index. I'm not sure to understand exactly what you mean by "I would like to do otherwise. I would like to add on the screen, an Sprite that comes from that specific address."

Now, I understood the correct behavior of what I wanted to do. Just like in Sonic's Sample, I would add a sprite to the canvas with SPR_addSprite() and store its index in sprTileIndexes[], but when I wanted to add the same sprite again using SPR_addSprite(), the new one took up another space in the VRAM. I actually have to use the SPR_setVRAMTileIndex() pointing to the same previous index, which I didn't do. I figured I would have to use something like SPR_addSpriteFromVRAM(sprite, ind) or SPR_getSpriteFromVRAM(sprite, ind), something like that. Thank you, now I understood what to do!

Oh ok, in fact you have the SPR_addSpriteEx(..) which let you to define more parameter, and set the fixed VRAM index for instance, but if you call SPR_setVRAMTileIndex(..) afterward it works too.
