Prototypeint sp_strength(int active_sprite, int strength[-1])

sp_strength() gets or sets the strength of the active_sprite.

If the active_sprite is playing an animation sequence with a special damage frame (i.e. attack sequences) it will cause anything it hits to be hurt up to strength hitpoints. The actual number may vary due to random variation and sp_defense() of the target.

If the active_sprite is a missile (sp_brain() of 11 or 17), it will also cause anything it hits to be hurt up to strength hitpoints.

If the active_sprite is a text sprite (sp_brain() of 8), the strength value is the x-offset of the text from the parent sprite's sp_x() coordinate. By default it is set to 75, so the text starts 75 pixels left of the parent sprite.

To set Dink's strength, use the &strength required global variable.
