Sprite Mover
Version 1.0
by Woratana
Release Date: 02/06/2008


Introduction
This is a little snippet I wrote for my project.
It's to fix the problem that sprite is too high or too low for the tiles
behind.

I actually ran into this problem when I'm trying to put stuffs in 1
block height of cave's ground.
So I think to use script is easier than edit the sprite image~ :D

Enjoy~ :lol:
