by the way how do you set magenta as the clear color?

I can only see GL_TEXTURE_COLOR0_TRANSPARENT which uses black
the texture packer uses magenta

I tried deleting GL_TEXTURE_COLOR0_TRANSPARENT from the source and put -gT #FF00FF into the GRIT file but it didnt help

yep, im using that technique to animate human characters

On other platforms Im used to drawing for example, the torso, then saving its matrix values e.g.(1,0,0,1,50,40)

Then when I am ready to draw a limb I load the torso's matrix (glLoadMatrix) and rotate and translate for each limb.

Maybe I ...

thanks for the help on sprites,

I realized the texturedquad function is all you need to do do funky stuff like parenting etc. as long as xtranslatef32 is copied from gl2d.c as its inline

do all sprites have to be power of 2?
what about sprites that are NOT power of 2 on a texture that IS power of 2?

also I would like to alter the gl2d source so I can parent one sprite to another, so I would have to remove some calls to glLoadidentity

I tried to compile this project:
http://www.liranuna.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/lesson2.zip

simply use make on the zipped folder (after unzipping of course)

3.drawing backgrounds with tiles

that works.

The patater tutorial only shows how to draw a single bitmap in the background which isnt useful for big environments. The other tutorial doesnt compile.

I couldnt see the edit button so I double posted.

There is a tutorial here:
http://static.patater.com/files/project ... #id2612791

but it doesnt say what command line options to use with grit,
there are a lot of different options which is overwhelming

Im following this lesson on backgrounds:
http://www.liranuna.com/nds-2d-tuts/lesson-2/

When I compile it says 'woodPalette_bin_size undeclared'

Has anyone tried to compile a game for supercard dstwo?
also, are the pseudo-opengl graphic commands available for dstwo?

Using unsupported stuff is fun when it allows you to do new things. :D

Im not asking anyone to solve my problems , I realise this is all self-inflicted.

Im simply asking for the tools needed i.e. the debugging tools
which have been kindly given to me, and the opinions of forum members on whether ...
