Graphics and Sound starter

Hi All,
·
Been having a great time so far with the prop:
·
Done some ASCII animation with the text driver on the TV,
Loaded up PropDOS and Played WAVs and Sound FX,
Hooked up an SD Card.......Keyboard, Mouse, Stereo Speakers, VGA Monitor...etc
Loved the Graphics Demo...etc
I'm super impressed with all of the immediate stuff that can be done, it’s like learning to use an MCU at light speed.
·
·
I'm a little stuck and looking for some guidance;
I want to start making a program using some graphics and some sound, for me the easiest place to start is to modify the code of a demo until I get the hang of it.
I see all the primitives in Chips graphics driver....very cool, animation looks great, that resolution on a TV(320x240?) is all I need atm to get started.
And I have a ball bouncing around that I wrote, which I’m happy with and now I want it to use a sound effect when it hits a wall.
When I go to add the HSS object (no samples in DAT just the solo object), I'm told that I don’t have enough runtime memory? (over by 100 or so longs)
·
Something is telling me it’s the “_stack” reference in the graphics demo because when you do F8, it looks like there’s so much free space.
·
But basically I want to use the HSS with some simple graphics, preferably with all those primitives already written. How should I go about this?
·
Do I have to create my own graphics driver with ONLY what I need as far as colors/primitives I will use?
I’d love any suggestions on getting started on this path of graphics and sound.
Any help would be appreciated thank you.

New to the Propeller?
Getting started with the Protoboard? - Propeller Cookbook 1.4
Updates to the Cookbook are now posted to: Propeller.warrantyvoid.us
Got an SD card? - PropDOS
Need a part? Got spare electronics? - The Electronics Exchange
I strongly recommend that book too. One note, they are never in stock. There is a discussion in the HYDRA forums about this somewhere. You can order it anyway I believe.

If you order it can you also download it?
There's concern about piracy of an electronic copy of the book.
(Yes, that's an indication of the quality..)
Call Parallax and inquire about the book by phone, I can't help but think that
would rustle one up for you.

The book with CD is in stock even though it shows no stock on the web site Just order it and they will ship it to you. There was a post a while ago where Ken from Parallax indicated that it was a computer / accounting problem and not a stock issue. I'll put a link to the post if i can find it again. I think it was related to the fact that they have the book and CD in stock as separate items with individual part numbers but when you purchase it from the web it's listed as a package with it's own number, (book and CD) When you purchase they will assemble it from the individual items and send it as a package. At least it was something like that

I have been waiting to purchase that book until the damn thing says "in stock".
I wonder how many others have as well.
I will get right on it.
Thanks again,
Rick
I'll be sure to post the amazing graphics when they are done [noparse]:)[/noparse]
