Sprite?
« on: July 10, 2014, 08:38:01 am »
I'm sort of new to this sprites stuff.
For my very first game I used a VertexArray with a rectangle (4 sides).
I want to load a sprite, and make a similar rectangle so I can detect a collision with the image, but all these resources are showing me IntRect(); with sprites and stuff.
I don't understand it, the arguments are:
-Directory
-Left,top,width,height.
 I don't get that, shouldn't it be Top left,bottom left, top right, bottom right?

Left,top,width,height and top-left,bottom-left,top-right,bottom-right are both valid ways to define a rectangle and converting between them, if needed, is trivial. Which way is prefered is mostly a matter of taste and sometimes convenience in a specific context.

How do you convert them?

width = right - left

or

right = left + width

Ah, I get it :p
But with my previous project, I moved the primitive by adding a number to each vertice value. Could you give me an example of how to do that with sprite?
