Well, as you write many of them yourself you probably know better than most!
Now the updated SPRITELIB can read Liberty BASIC sprites (not that it's documented that way of course!) I did wonder about porting a couple of the nicer LB sprite-based games, but I'd need the permission of the original authors first (even if the code is completely re-written the sprites remain their IPR).

You may already know about this, but I found these inexpensive 'game assets' which may save some time when creating games needing animated characters:

They could, with a little effort, be converted into animated icons (.ANI files) which are directly usable with SPRITELIB.

Thanks for that (I have come across similar sites in the past). Those game graphics are certainly of a standard that I - for one - could only ever aspire to creating. Drawing graphics for games is, for me, always a tedious, time-consuming undertaking -- something that is best left to those with talent and enthusiasm!
Another site with a (free) source of reasonably good graphics (not much in the way of sprite-like game objects as such, but nevertheless potentially useful):
Open Clip Art

If anyone is developing a new game in BB4W then would they please speak up! It'll give some of us something to look forward to. (And now that Jeroen Groenendaal is apparently 'off the scene', it's hard to see anything spectacular coming down the line.)
Regards,
David.
