Creating sprites in memory and blitting those onthe screen

[FunkyMonk]

Hi all!

I'm new to GapiTools and was playing around with it. I asked myself: Can I create a sprite in memory and blit it with a mask like MaskBlt does for resources? The problem is that I want to change the sprites during the game, so using static resources is impossible. What I'd like to have is a method like

void MaskBlt(CGapiBuffer* pBuffer, DWORD dwLeft, DWORD dwTop, DWORD dwWidth, DWORD dwHeight, DWORD dwSourceLeft, DWORD dwSourceTop, COLORREF maskColor, BOOL bScreen = FALSE)

Any help is appreciated

Thanks,

FunkyMonk

Hi,

GapiTools does not support MaskBlt between buffers. If you are not too far into your project I would recommend you to try out the new GapiDraw (it has all features of GapiTools + much more).

If I get the time I will try to add buffered MaskBlt in GapiTools 1.09, which will be released before Friday.

Hi Johan,

thanks for your reply. I really like the light-weight GapiTools (keep up the good work ). And I think a buffered MaskBlt would really be a big plus for the GapiTools. BTW, the source code isn't free, right? Otherwise, I might put in the MaskBlt myself .
