Animation in SFML 2.0.
« on: March 20, 2012, 06:43:46 am »
Whats the best way for animation? EG. moving through a big sprite sheet in SFML 2?

I noticed it had a textureRect property? Does this mean we can use that to decide where in the sprite sheet we want to be and move dynamically when we want?

when I wrote a 2D engine for University, we used FrameRect's, and they where so flexible and easy to use thats why I ask.

Cheers.
Trying so very hard to finish at-least one project.

Watch out for the RAII police, they will get you.

Yes.

Look at all the animation codes on the forum, wiki and in SFML-related projects, there are several sources of inspiration ;)
