Cool! But why does Alex do the Janken attack animation when standing? It looks a bit out of place...

i tried to use SGDK sprite engine, but with only 5~6 sprites on screen, Megadrive slowing down.

I don't know why. is there any recomandation to use the sprite engine?

Take a look at BugHunt code. It uses the SGDK sprite engine flawessly http://bughunt.nolddor.ovh/

Thanks!

I've taken a look at this code.
I think i'm using SPRinitSprite in my loop and this is not the way i had to.

I probably should use set attribut, setposition or setanimandframe...

I will test it this afternoon :-)

This kind of slowdown happens with my Sharp claws game too. I really dont know if its our fault or SGDK.

I thinh it's my code since with an old version i made, i was not having any slowdown.

DId you use SGDK sprite engine or your own?

You may quickly experience slowdown if you use the compression as well, always disable it for sprite. I really need to implement a blazing fast unpacking algo for real time sprites unpacking :p

I don't use compression.

I tried to use

Code: Select all

SPR_setAnim(&AlexSprite[0], &alexmarche_sprite);
SPR_setAttribut(&AlexSprite[0], TILE_ATTR(PAL2, 0, 0, sens));
SPR_setPosition(&AlexSprite[0], SpriteX, SpriteY);
but game crash :shock:

Edit:
just this line causes game crash:

Code: Select all

SPR_setAnim(&AlexSprite[0], &alexmarche_sprite);

The second argument should be the animation index (and so the corresponding row number in your sprite sheet)

It's better, but i have little slowdowns when breaking boxes... don't know why...

There's only 5~7 sprites on screen :/

The sprite engine is not really optimized currently (it does hardware sprite allocation at each update for instance) and i should probably redesign it in a way we can manually allocate the hardware sprite. It does work well when dealing with few big sprite but not so well for many small sprites. Still 5/7 sprites is not a lot and should not produce any slowdown if you don't compress them.

My code isn't optimal so this +that could be slowdown i guess...

Don't worry. At this time, this is working and that's the only goal for me, i'm very learning coding with this ;-)

news of this day:

- sprites are ok, animated. No more slowdown.
- enemys can kill us and alex can kill them
- when revive, alex is invincible for several seconds (blinking)
