Artwork

So if I wanted to start creating artwork for this thing, what kind of format should it be in?

------------------
And so the problem remained; lots of people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches. Many were increasingly of the opinion that they had all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that the trees had been a bad move and that no one should ever have left the oceans. - Douglass Adams

.pic (or sometimes .pict) format seems to work well.

Alrighty, thanks for the help.

how about JPEG? and what about animations and movies?

------------------

I use bitmaps and picts for the sprites, the animations are either a collection of sprites or perhaps a gif? The movies would be in .mov format I presume

for movies what kind of compression? Sorenson?

------------------

I think the smart thing to do with artwork would be to keep it in your applications' native formats... ie, a photoshop doc, etc, so that you can go back and easily edit later.

I think sanehatter's got the best idea, but out of interest PICTS and .mov formats are what I use at the moment.

Please don't resurrect 3-year-old topics, especially if you have nothing meaningful to contribute.

To recap in a slightly more barbaric way that which Glenn has just spoken:

Digging up old topics without relevent new information: bad!

Let's refrain from doing so please.
