Hi all,

So, I'm following the video tutorials here for AGK.
I'm using a ship that's included with the final product of a space shooter the video series ultimately goes into.

Problem is, when I run the code, the image file shows up broken (checkerboard with a red x). I have the image in the same folder as the source file, I'm calling it by the correct filename.

Here's the code copy/pasted from the file:


I've attached the image file (I shrunk it down so it wasn't so huge, but the problem occurred before I did so, too).
I thought maybe there's an issue with the image file, so I created a new one, just a bright green circle, and saved it as PNG. Same problem. I've uploaded that, too, along with a screenpic of what I'm getting when I run the program.

I thought maybe it was a bitdepth thing, like I have to set 32bit to handle transparency, but couldn't find anything about that.

Can someone point out why that's happening?

Thanks!

that "broken image" image generally means AppGameKit can't find the file. make sure "player.png" is in the project's media folder (and confirm the cases match).

IE, the source would be in the "root" folder, so the image needs to be in C:/.../MyProject/media, for example.

Ahhhh... Okay. I didn't know about the media path thing. That would explain it!

If it was mentioned in the video, I completely missed it.

Thanks!
