One sprite, various objects, am I doing it wrong?
« on: November 08, 2009, 05:57:52 pm »
I am new to SFML and I'm making a small shmup. I have this image of a star(its actually a white dot but whatever). Then  Ive to draw each of the 1000 stars in the screen. But instead of using one sprite for each star I use sprite for every star! And I'm not sure if this is the right way :(
Code: [Select]

    for(int i = 0; i < (int)cg->stars.size(); i++)
    {
        switch(cg->stars[i].kind)
        {
            case 0:
            {
                cg->sprites[sid_star0].SetPosition(cg->stars[i].x, cg->stars[i].y);
                cg->sprites[sid_star0].SetRotation(cg->stars[i].rot);

                wnd.Draw(cg->sprites[sid_star0]);
            }
            case 1:
            {
                cg->sprites[sid_star1].SetPosition(cg->stars[i].x, cg->stars[i].y);
                cg->sprites[sid_star1].SetRotation(cg->stars[i].rot);

                wnd.Draw(cg->sprites[sid_star1]);
            }
        }
    }
Practice makes perfect.

I don't get it at all, but maybe you should consider using just one sprite, and changing its position and rotation every step before drawing it.
Like this:
Code: [Select]
for(int i...) {
    sprite.SetPosition(stars[i].x, stars[i].y);
    sprite.SetRotation(...);
    wnd.Draw(sprite);
}

Thats what I'm doing. One sprite per image. One sprite for every object
I'm just not sure if this is the right way

You probably want all the stars to use the same image. So, 1000 sprites, 1 image.

You are doing right. Why don't you test your code?
