How to check in stuff to cvs: 1. Run 'cvs update'. 2. Run OddWin32.exe and make sure everything works ok. 3. Run 'cvs add -kb ...' on all new image files. (Replace ... with filename.) 4. Run 'cvs ci'. /Jerker

Bug fixed

Hi Ian! I fixed the bug and included your tenth animation frame. To get it, do the following: 1. Delete OddWin32.exe from the cvs\Odd folder. 2. Do cvs update . Now you'll get a new OddWin32.exe in the same folder. In addition, data.xml will be replaced in the Resources folder. Use these from now on - any old OddWin32.exe or data.xml that you may have on your hard disk won't work. The animations are looking really great! There are a few technical issues, however: the animation images are too big, both in terms of image size and file size. Preferable size is about 200 pixels high - this will actually make them look better, less blurred, on the screen. Compensate by changing the scale value at the top of data.xml from 0.5 to 1. Moreover, if you can find a packing algorithm when saving the png:s, please use it! I think you should be able to get them down to about 15k each. Finally, it's a good idea to trim all images so that there is no unnecessary space above, below and besides the contents. This makes sprite handling more efficient, and it might save a few bytes in file size too. /Jerker
