controlling sprites x and y
-
revamping blind fury new title screen no frogs,
in blind fury i have a sprite that blinks and moves in front of the player, how can i get it to move then go up and down.
so program it to move along a set pattern ? -
sounds like what I was looking into for my hex games shmup section (to move aliens) but I couldn't work it out.
Anyways - I think if so, the answer is "Beziers" which plots points along a line. Check out @Jonboy side scrolling shmup demo program where he explains the concept in the comments.

@SwitchedOn cheers i think its -= dir and += dir with x, y but i cant figure out the in between parts

Yep, that's about where I abandoned it lol

What I ended up doing - though didn't get it working 100% - is to give each of my aliens a 'starting' X & Y and obviously a current X & Y.
If the alien moved a set distance from their starting X, then I'd flip the Y axis, so they moved down. Then from there, if they went a certain distance down in the Y from their starting Y, flipped the Y again so they went up.
Carried on like this, made them rise and fall.
But not sure if that's any good for applying to your problem @waldron

@SwitchedOn yes thats what im after pretty much, its only to control one sprite
