its not so much a rule as common sense. if you make a sprite to use in a game, or even a website or such, it's going to need a color that the engine can strip away to make transparent. when you use jpeg it artifacts and blurs the edges of outlines, so when the background color is replaced with transparency, you get something like this:

FYI, s123i68, you can't take spaces that are side-by-side, they have to be in a block shape. However, since you posted both, I'll let it slide.

Hey, those spriting laws are written. All over the place. Seriously. It's the Internet we're talking about here. :P

If your sprites look flat, you should try looking up a spriting tutorial. I've been making icons since I was 3-4, and I still read tutorials from time to time (because I'm still not good).

Oh, reading the rules again, I guess you can do that. I thought it was by block, not by color.

I see. I'm not too big on spriting, which should be blatantly obvious as well. My problem is that college has me bogged down at the moment. I just found some spare time, and thought I should make it up to Zurg, considering I backed out after already claiming some blocks.

@Zurg, my bad. I suppose I could try and make something for 64 as well, although you might have to give me some time.

Okay, there you are. Decided to make a roof since I couldn't go to sleep. Calculus floating through my head right now, and I needed something to take my mind off it.

@Pomegranate, thanks for adding on to what I had already did. Looks nice and gave me some background so I could finish my part of the roof a heck of a lot faster than I intended.

Let it go on the record that I do not plan on adding anything else to THIS collaboration. However, I don't plan well, so I may or may not make something else. :P
