Hi Stef,

Thanks for the fix!

I'm trying to implement it, but I'm not sure how to be honest.
I've created a new project to test this. This is my current code:

#include <genesis.h>
#include "resources.h"

int main()
{
VDP_setScrollingMode(HSCROLL_TILE, VSCROLL_PLANE);
u16 hscroll_value=0;

VDP ...

Hi Stef,

No worries :)

I've been trying your suggestion, however i get an "invalid initializer" error when trying to use the map on this line:


Map map = unpackMap(level1.map, NULL);

Also, is this the right way to declare an image to use as a map? Or should i use something different?

IMAGE ...

So, small update.

I'm using Mappy now with MDPPY.

It generated an .asm file, which I'm trying to use in SGDK.
Unfortunately I can't find any information about using .asm maps at all.

I'm stuck at this point, so any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Best regards,

Steve

Great! I'll PM you, because i'm kind of stuck

Hi all,

What would be the best way to create a looping scrolling foreground?
Say I have a large BMP file of a map, and I would want to scroll it, for example on the A Plane. What would be the best way to do it?

I'm trying to use the A plane to draw the "pipes" in my flappy bird game, so ...

I'm not entirely sure, but as the original Wolf3D music is in MIDI format, i'm guessing they used a converter.

Obviously the MIDI file would have to be modified a bit, and then an appropriate (TFI?) instrument would have to be made to create the correct YM2612 values.

I'm looking into these ...

I guess the best way to learn things is to break them and repair them again...

OK, I think I "solved" it.
I noticed that it would be animated when I put it in a different switch case.

So I've created an "instructions" case, and put all the required code there.

Might be a bit of a dirty "hack", but it works I guess...
No idea why though. Maybe I'm missing something ...

Update:

When i use the following code, it doesn't raise an error anymore, but the sprites aren't drawn :?

Sprite sprites[MAX_SPRITE];
Sprite *sprflappy = &sprites[0];
Sprite *sprinstr = &sprites[1];

// initialize the sprite (Flappy! :D)
SPR_initSprite(&sprflappy, &flappy_sprite, fix16ToInt ...

Hi Stef,

I'm actually using 1 sprite definition for multiple sprites, as i saw in a different thread on this forum.

However, when i tried that i got several error message when compiling for some reason.

My current code:


#include <genesis.h>
#include "gfx.h"

#define ANIM_STATIC 0
#define ...

Hi Stef,

I got the majority of it working. Thanks again for the help! :)

Now i've got a different problem.
I'm now drawing multiple sprites on screen after the loop.

This is the code: while(TRUE)
{
switch(gamestate)
{
case INTRO:
//updateIntroAnim();
//Clear the A Plane to remove the logo ...

Nice!

I'm actually making a flappy bird clone myself, using SGDK.

Still needs work though.

I'm terribly sorry, but i can't really wrap my head around it i'm afraid :?

What exactly is "state"?
I tried making an INT out of it and defining them, but i don't think that's what i'm supposed to do, right?


#include <genesis.h>
#include "gfx.h"

#define ANIM_STATIC 0
#define ANIM_UP 1 ...

Allright, thx :)

I did try doing it like that, but it still does the same.

There's a great chance i'm missing something, as i'm actually learning C by coding this.

Any ideas?

I did copy a lot from the sprite example, and i'm now trying to understand what it does. For me that's the best way to ...

Hi Stef,

I'm a bit confused.


This is my current code:
int i = 250;

for (i; i>60; i--)
{
SPR_setPosition(&sprflappy, i, fix16ToInt(posy));
VDP_waitVSync();
}



My sprite just stays on the same position until (i assume) the for-loop is finished, then it updates with the new location ...
