[IMG]http://pjeffadsl.free.fr/docs2/output/tut2_screen3.png[****]

what i am haveing trouble figuring out is how he used this image to make the whole map? i dont get it, how you can use 1 image and make duplicates.



[IMG]http:/****206.imageshack.us**** 206/5092/spritesyl1.png[****]

also what do this image have anything to do with collision? like how does this work.

[IMG]http:/****518.imageshack.us**** 518/2122/collisionsskf7.png[****]

ya so im just wondering how he creates the whole map with those 2 sprites(like what part of the code and how) and what the second images has anything to do with collision.

[Xsjado7]

Hey,
Just a quick question, iv written a small function to remove a given colour from an image using graphics.h. Problem is that putPixelImage() doesnt support alpha colours so how else could i go about changing the pixel colour to transparent or how would i go about adding transparency to the function?

Any ideas?

[midnight_rush]

how difficult would it be to execute the official sony music player within a homebrew using an execute function?

[Auraomega]

Well, you'd have to find what modules were required, then which partitions to load them in, then how to load them (I.E. what arguments were needed).

All in all, pretty hard, because I'm guessing you'd have to do it yourself as I don't think anyone else has done it. Still, be an interesting thing to work on.

I know where the problem is but i dont know what im doing wrong

if ((img1posX + img1width > img2posX) &&
       (img1posX < img2posX + img2width) &&
	   (img1posX + img1width > img3posX) &&
       (img1posX < img2posX + img3width) &&
       (img1posY + img1height > img2posY) &&
       (img1posY < img2posY + img2height) ) 
{

if i put that in, none of the sprites have collision but if i take out the Bolded parts the first sprite has collision but the second one dose not.(second sprite as in the second object, not the character that is moving). How do i modify this correctly for every new object on the screen? help will be greatly appreciated.

You can't assign them like you are.

Use strcpy(), sprintf() or similar.

[Xsjado7]

sprintf...could i get any dumber...

I thought coders are usually at their peak at 2 in the morning

Thanks IWN :)

[FigMan]

how difficult would it be to execute the official sony music player within a homebrew using an execute function?

it's not as easy as you think. the hardware ME decoder can be initialized by

sceUtilityLoadAvModule(PSP_AV_MODULE_AVCODEC);

but this is only for the initialization of the decoder. you still have to manually read the mp3 data from the file.

Hi. I started using OSLib today, and I wanted to know a way of having collision with something that is a more of an odd shape or Diagonal Boxes and not a Squarish look shape(Flat Box,Flat Platform)?

[yaustar]

Hi. I started using OSLib today, and I wanted to know a way of having collision with something that is a more of an odd shape or Diagonal Boxes and not a Squarish look shape(Flat Box,Flat Platform)?

Use Object Orientated Bounding Box (OOBB) Collision or Line Box collision tests.

[daaa57150]

edit: see what yaustar said.

[ZereoX]

Like a said I'm still a newbie. So could you show me an example?

[Xsjado7]

Say i had something like:

char str[32];
sprintf(str, "score 1 = 10, score 2 = 13");

how would i go about copying "score 2" into another string? strcpy doesnt let you set the params for where to copy to and from

   float img3width = img3->stretchX;
   float img3height = img3->stretchY;
  
   
   if ((img1posX + img1width > img2posX) &&
       (img1posX < img2posX + img2width) &&
	   (img1posX + img1width > img3posX) &&
       (img1posX < img2posX + img3width) &&
       (img1posY + img1height > img2posY) &&
       (img1posY < img2posY + img2height) ) 
{
         collision = 1;               
   }     
   return collision;
}

I know where the problem is but i dont know what im doing wrong

if ((img1posX + img1width > img2posX) &&
       (img1posX < img2posX + img2width) &&
	   (img1posX + img1width > img3posX) &&
       (img1posX < img2posX + img3width) &&
       (img1posY + img1height > img2posY) &&
       (img1posY < img2posY + img2height) ) 
{

if i put that in, none of the sprites have collision but if i take out the Bolded parts the first sprite has collision but the second one dose not.(second sprite as in the second object, not the character that is moving). How do i modify this correctly for every new object on the screen? help will be greatly appreciated.

can someone please help? =)

Say i had something like:

char str[32];
sprintf(str, "score 1 = 10, score 2 = 13");

how would i go about copying "score 2" into another string? strcpy doesnt let you set the params for where to copy to and from

ugh

char str[64]; // I would go a little higher just incase of bigger variables
int score1 = 10, score2 = 13;
sprintf(str, "Score 1 = %i, Score 2 = %i", score1, score2);

Look it over, it's pretty self explanatory. Store the scores in variables, then get them from there.

I think he was asking about splitting an existing string.

lol, yeah. For eample; i wanna cut "score = 2" and chuck it another string or something to that extent

Why not use std::string instead of messing around with char[] sprintf and the likes? it's so easier.

you can still use std::strings I think, you'll just have to modify some things (.cpp instead of .c for your files, -lstdc++ added in your makefile). this won't stop you writing everything in C if you like, but you'll be able to use std::strings at the same time (you'll also benefit from iostreams & lists/vectors/maps, this will make your life a lot easier).

Oh, ok. Thanks for the help

Just renamed my stuff and added the etra lib but i get errors thrown at me. Im going to try something else. Im gonna write the string to a temporary file on the memory stick. from there i can use sceIo functions like sceIoRead which allows me to tell it how far to read and such. Thanks again for the help though

really really bad solution. you better show us the errors and your code so we can help, or continue investigate proper C code with memcopy and all that crap.

My errors, and thats just from my main.cpp. I have more than 8 more source files

[daaa57150]

I'll need your main.cpp to see what's wrong.

Oh, forgot to mention, "throw" is actually a variable in my "player" struct. I take it its a command in C++ due to it being highlighted in Notepad++ when i type it

yup, it's a reserved key word of the c++ language. hope this solves everything, if not post here.

Ok, i think iv got it sorted out. Do i have to code any different to use those new functions?

only when using strings, remember that it's a c++ class, so to allocate memory for it (if you want to use pointers, which in most cases is not needed) istead of malloc use new, and instead of free use delete. apart from that, you can continue working completely in C.

small example to get you started:

#include <string>
using namespace std;

string str ("this is a string");

//now use the power of the string class: str.substr(), str.find()..
//nothing else to do!
