Newb at game making Sprite and game map developing

[naed]

Oh OK!!! Thank you!!!

Looks simple enough I'll make a copy of the current build and play with it. Also don't they need the vertical coordinates Or the VX VY on a couple?

not for the screen boundaries as you'll only hit the top of the screen if your pressing up, that's why the boundaries are set to stop you going out of the top of the screen when going upwards

[Duhjoker]

That makes since.

I've been looking around for how to set the orientation after a button press but coming up short. I found a couple commands that I thought might work but can't find any reference or threads mentioning them. I'm wondering if it might need a new set of commands to add to the regular movement commands.

Maybe an else/if statement or a command after the button release like gb.display.bitmap after the button release command

[Duhjoker]

How about

Code: Select all

  if(gb.buttons.released(BTN_UP))
  gb.display.drawBitmap(player_x,player_y,spriteId);




Would i need to code another groupset with the if.(gb.button.released etc like with the buttons pressed or would i put one command under each direction?

[naed]

What about

Code: Select all

gb.buttons.released

Description

Function used to know when a given button is released.

EDIT

Lol your previous post didn't show for me but we're thinking the same thing

[Duhjoker]

Awesome!!!!


Ok so no if and it works? Do I use this command at one for each set of button punches or do I create a separate list below the buttons pressed code.

[Duhjoker]

All right I tried to implement the button release command to lock its orientation. Its working kind of. It now stays locked on sever_rear. Also the whole room bitmap screen is flickering like the sprite and it wasn't before and the character now moves supper fast.

Code: Select all

//imports the SPI library (needed to communicate with Gamebuino's screen)
#include <SPI.h>
//imports the Gamebuino library
#include <Gamebuino.h>
//creates a Gamebuino object named gb
Gamebuino gb;

you could try this, i didn't get good results from the button release way, so just came up with another way (probably not the best way but it certainly works)

i'll post the whole code here and you can take a look

Code: Select all

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Gamebuino.h>
Gamebuino gb;
     
    //map followed by tilesprites

     const byte

Hmmmm I get an error on drawTilemap. It says no member named tileMap. I guess I need to find the library for it.

[Duhjoker]

Went through all my posts after remembering what sorunome said about the Tilemap routine and found the updated library that includes the tilemap parts. The link to this repository is not included in the wiki so make sure you use this library when using the tilemap command.

https://github.com/Sorunome/Gamebuino/tree/tilemapper

Just simply remove the old library and replace it with the update.

Any way after updating the example compiles just haven't had a chance to look at it on the simbuino app yet.

[Duhjoker]

Awesome thank you gonna play with it now and create a new build.

Did you mean to comment out // the last line of the commands under void loop?

Ok starting at the first set of button commands i see you have added "player_direction = 1;". And then below at the player direction part you have "if (player_direction == 1) {..etc...

So in the buttons pressed code we are naming the player direction and assigning it an integer and the using that integer to tell where the sprite will face when button released in player direction?
