1.) Download the Ball.zip file from here.
2.) Extract Ball.png and copy it into your game's "./debug/images/" folder.
3.) Open GOC.h in CodeLite.
4.) Add the includes for Sprite.h and MathGOC.h (See Code Example 1:).
Code Example 1:
/* File Name: GOC.h */ /* Add new include files here */ #include "./source/PlatformSpecific/inc/Sprite.h" #include "./source/inc/MathGOC.h"
5.) Add a private Sprite pointer called ball_m to GOC.h (See Code Example 2:).
Code Example 2:
/* File Name: GOC.h */ private: /* Add private variables here. */ Sprite *ball_m; }; #endif
6.) Save the changes to GOC.h.
7.) Open main.cpp in CodeLite.
Add the following code to the inside of GOC::Initialize() function.
A.) Create a PointGOC cordinate structure and name it ballPosition_l
(See Example Code 3:).
B.) Initilize ballPosition_l's x-cordinate to half of the window's width, y-cordinate to
half of the window's height and the z-cordinate to 0.0f (See Example Code 3:).
Example Code 3:
/*
File Name: main.cpp
*/
/*
Initialize your game scene, and game variables here.
*/
// Fill out the sprite's x-cor, y-cor and z-cor
// structure.
PointGOC ballPosition_l = {GetWindowWidth() / 2,
GetWindowHeight() / 2,
0.0f};
C.) Create a new Sprite instance for ball_m (See Example Code 4:).
D.) Set ball_m's starting position, width and height (See Example Code 4:).
E.) Load and apply a texture to ball_m (See Example Code 4:).
F.) Set the default visibility flag for ball_m (See Example Code 4:).
Code Example 4:
// Create a new instance of your sprite.
ball_m = new Sprite();
// Change the position of your sprite by passing
// in a filled out PointGOC structrue and the
// sprite's with and height.
ball_m->Set2DPosition(ballPosition_l,
24,
24);
// Apply a texture to your sprite.
ball_m->GetTexture()->LoadTexture("./images/Ball.png");
// Make your sprite visible or invisible.
ball_m->SetVisible(true);
}
Add the following code to the inside of GOC::Destroy() function.
A.) Delete the ball_m instance (See Example Code 5:).
Code Example 5:
/* Clean up after your game here. */ // Destroy your sprite when you are done with it. delete ball_m;
8.) Click Build > Build and Run Project if there were no errors you should see
a sprite drawn to the center of the screen (See Figure 1:).
Figure 1: First sprite on the screen.
