SimpleSprite

[ZenonSeth]

I was doing some testing yesterday on a project I'm working on, and I realized that drawing the sf::RectangleShape (which I had a lot of) wasn't performing as fast as using a sf::Sprite. However, I also wanted a setSize functionality and I was planning to do something which would have benefited from a setVertexColor function.

So, this isn't exactly a project, but I wrote a SimpleSprite class which fullfills those needs.
It should also duplicate all functionality of a sf::Sprite, so you should (in theory) be able to replace any sf::Sprite objects with SimpleSprite and would not be required to do any other code changes. I've seen a couple of posts where people were talking about stuff like this, so I decided to post this.

Here's the public functionality of SimpleSprite:

Code: [Select]


    SimpleSprite ( );

    explicit SimpleSprite ( const sf::Texture &texture );

    SimpleSprite ( const sf::Texture &texture, const sf::IntRect& rect );

    void setSize ( const sf::Vector2f &size);

    void setSize ( float size_x, float size_y );

    void setTexture ( const sf::Texture &texture, bool updateTextureRect = false );

    void setTextureRect ( const sf::IntRect &rect );

    void setColor ( sf::Color color );

    void setVertexColor ( unsigned int index, sf::Color color );

    // getters

    const sf::Vector2f& getSize () const;

    const sf::Texture* getTexture () const;

    const sf::IntRect& getTextureRect () const;

    // Warning: This function may not return correct results if you have used setVertexColor(..)
    // This function is the equivalent of calling getVertexColor(0)
    const sf::Color& getColor () const;

    const sf::Color& getVertexColor ( unsigned int index ) const;


The .hpp and .cpp are attached.
Edit: Updated - the default behavior of setTexture so that updateTextureRect is false by default.

Post it in the wiki, it's better than to attach it to a thread that may die and not be seen in long time.

I see, I should do that, but I'm not sure how how (if at all possible) to upload files there, so I'm just going link to this thread for this.

All you need is a Github account and you can modify the wiki and add your sources and a short explanation in a new page, and of course link the page to the sources menu.

void setVertexColor ( unsigned int index, sf::Color color );
 

Nice feature!
