face changes

draw a face and then in the options you could make a face that changes when your guy dies, for example while riding around the face is normal ,but the second he is killed the face changes to something funny like a sad face or cross eyed or you could just draw one.

for a menu under display options make two buttons, one to draw, import, or take a picture if your palm has a camera, highlight the portion you want to be the face and hit save, or ok. the second button would be for the death face, do the same but make it a little different or you could just draw on the previous face to make it funny looking.

That's a lot of things to add for such a simple feature! If I remember right, the heads are only 15px wide in low-res, and 30px wide in high-res.
I suggested this earlier, so people could draw on the faces, but you probably didn't see that because there is a bug in navigating the forum.

If you have RsrcEdit, you may be able to change the drawing of the low-res guy's head with that. I was at least able to use that to draw on the wheels.

But each TBMP (Palm Bitmap format) is a single "resource", but it contains multiple pictures for multiple resolutions and bit depths. If you modify these bitmaps, you may erase a necessary picture, and you will have to reinstall Bike or Die! The problem is, RsrcEdit cannot load the 16-bit graphics used for the high-res display, so it will erase them, so you cannot run Bike or Die! in high-res mode. So only use RsrcEdit if you want to play in low-res mode.
I think you will find the biker's head is too small to draw much.

ya i just realized that the face is too small for it but it would have been ok if it was bigger and all of the stuff you talked about would allow it to. thanks for the response
