The 2006 2D Sprite Render Test

Still waiting on those Torque2D numbers.

 

I'll try and do one up tonight.

Basically I'll try and get it 800x600x32, 50 Sprites to start with, Hit "A" to add 10 sprites, Hit "R" to remove 10 sprites and Hit "F" to show the FPS. If I get time I'll try and add some of the cool things that TGB comes stock standard with, like particle effects, physics and collision detection, but don't hold me to that

 

Ok here it is. A Adds sprites, R Removes Sprites. Debug banner is on with object totals and FPS as well as other info. Total code time 2 hours cause I am slow. I also hope that everything is cool from an EULA point of view, pretty sure I deleted all the uncompiled code.

Alt-Enter for Full Screen and Alt-F4 to quit if your mouse is dead.

Sprite Test - TGB App

EDIT - Forgot to mention on my machine with 2000+ Sprites I get about 100 - 150 FPS.

I am fairly sure, without looking at the code, that I created the SceneWindow at 1024 x 768, so when I get home tonight I'll make that change.

TGB is a little different from programming in other languages. Everything in TGB is implemented in it's own, controlled world space. This allows TGB to effectively scale things up and down as a user's resolution changes internally so you never have to worry about it. Down side to this is you can't really get pixel perfect movement etc.

The debug banner is a simple on/off style function built into TGB so I am assuming I can rip the framerate and object variables out of that. I used the debug banner because it was a lot easier than actully displaying frame rate by itself. I'll try and set something up tonight to be a more accurate test.

 

I've update the zip fileand loaded it here:

Sprite Test

It was basicly too hard to try and rip those values out of the debug banner, and I'm not sure it's overhead is that great anyway. This version should be closer to 32x32 sprites at 800x600 res.

Edit- BTW 1 turns on debug banner, 2 turns off debug banner

 

Did no one try a Flash version, just for laughs?

 

This was a really great thread, so I stuck it.

 

He just coded it badly. It does have the ability to do both of those things. If he uploads the source I can adjust it to do both of those (I'm a user of Game Maker as well).

EDIT: His links seems to be dead as well.

If there's still enough interest, I can code my own GM version of this. But this looks like a pretty old thread so I don't know if anyone would care. Also, ALL of the links are now dead, so there's no real way to compare it anymore. It's too bad, because I'm curious how GM compares to the other engines.

 

I have another question involving views. Is it possible to move the object sprite during the process of animation? For example in Colonels Bequest there are the Armoires that pull out but using the original graphics they do not fit properly To low after the first couple frames.

Thanks for any help provided, hope im not asking to many questions.

Are the sprites opaque , or translucent (alpha 0, 1, ... 254, 255)?

 

I'm not clever enough to learn a new API now in my dotage. Seriously. My brain hurts.
