Post subject: Rotating a ship sprite correctly?

hi, I made a sprite that is 36 x 36 pixels (canvas size)
however when i rotate (I'm using photoshop cs btw) at certain angles it extends pass the canvas size so when i copy and paste it into a sprite sheet the position goes out of bound

how can i do this correctly besides using a bigger sprite sheet (the image fits 36 x 36 perfectly in every angle)

note: i have more than 1 sprite image for the ship (as in each angle have a different image to stimulate animation)

I like to see one of these ships when your done. I didnt know this game supported animated ships. The last I knew you could use 40 frames, each frame being an offset of 9 degrees.

In the mario arenas Yoshi sticks his tongue out at certain angles but not at others, that is animation.

Perhaps Phyran doesn't realise you need 40 frames and only rotated for 6?

Phyran meant that he created 6 different frames of an animation to be used in the 40 tile ship image (I think it was more like 7, actually)

I assembled it for him and I think ended up only using 5

I think it turned out nicely

ahh. ok. I was thinking of an animation more like the Infantry ships with actual running animations. By the way anybody ever see the inside of a blo file?
