Can anyone point me in the direction of the simple source code to display sprites - built on libnds code?

I can not get these things working. Can't figure out why; and can't find suitable code to copy or analyse. There's no point posting my program because it's been messed on with so much that its probably a million miles away from working.

Just a little piece of demo code would be greatly appreciated right now.

devKitPro comes with some examples. This one seems to be simple even, but I think you should also read a GBA sprite tutorial if it seems hard to understand. So on your hard drive, in the location where you put devkitpro:

\devkitPro\examples\nds\Graphics\2D\Sprite_Bitmap\

I don't seem to have the examples!??! And I've not been able to find them on the devKitPro site.

Have you got a link to where I can download them?

I think it is in

\devkitPro\devkitARM\examples

That's the exact folder where they are in... But here's a CVS link if you don't for some reason have them:

Didn't have that either.

But I've just found them on the devKitPro SourceForge site (thanks to Jasper and a very well timed post). Didn't see them before because I was only looking at the Latest File Releases section.

My own fault for not reading the web page properly.
