Hello there

I was searching the function list and im missing a command to copy an rectangel part of an image to a new image ?
I would need this to build a tile-engine with PB ?
How is that command named in PB ?
Or are there any other ways to achieve this with PB ?
Please help me on the right path

check out GrabSprite(), ClipSprite(), UseBuffer(), CreateSprite() and DisplaySprite() with these commands you should be able to do what you need using several different methods.

Hi Madman,
welcome to the pure comunity. If you want a copyrect command to display any tile object out of a big image (tile collection), you could use a very easy way for this. Just try follwing:

Code: Select all

    ClipSprite(...)
    DisplaySprite(...)

For games or general tileengines i would prefer sprites, also use SpriteLib instead ImageLib

Hmm that Sprite suggestion is some idea but i expect it being too slow to do the job. Especially when i consider my players build some levels themselves with a tile-editor i get some serious probs there

Can someone give me some more info on the GrabImage Command ?
The manual line "Create a new #Image2 with the selected area on the source #Image1" doesnt please me :/
Do i get a handle back ? or does this command create an entire new file and writes it to god-knows-where ?

Im not yet sure which language to choose, BlitzBasic or PureBasic.
PureBasics Advantages are the Database and gadgets abilities but it sure lacks some important commands. :/

Is there any 3rd party solution ?

Hi Madman,
as long as games exist, ppl used sprites due fact they are fast.

ok then.
I will try both.
I wonder if 500 sprites will be as fast as a single gfx.

Thanx all
