Using sprites...

Apr 5th, 2005

Hi there,

I have an image that is split into lots of little images that when flipped through would effectively animate the character.

How would i go about playing through the images, i assume i would somehow map the image into a two-dimensional array and then just run through the required parts, how would i do this?

Regards,
YoungCoder

Are the images dynamically loaded or static (resource)? What image format are you using for the images?

Loading from a .gif allthough i can easily convert it to .bmp or other formats to make it easier :mrgreen:

You want to load them into a one dimension array really as then each array index represents a frame of animation. This could be done using windows functions quite easily (BitBlt function and the WM_TIMER message are two things to research). Curiously the win32 function LoadImage can take either bmps or gifs take your pick!
