Thanks everyone for your replys,
I went with http://www.arifeldman.com/free/spritelib.html
1945 bmp template. I also wrote my own bmp loader and able to load it into memory. The only part i''m still working on is parsing out each sprite image, which i''m still looking for a way to find out when each image starts and ends.
The other thing i''m still working on is debugging. It seems you can''t step through the code when in full screen so I''ve been doing it in normal mode. However, it seems you can''t use a back buffer if you are in normal mode. Maybe someone can tell me how I can debug in full screen?
Thanks,
Michael
