Hi,

I am making a simple 2d game. Like apples falling from the tree and you have to catch them.

Now I want to print the score on the top of the screen with :



The promblem is that the text is behind the background screen. Is there a way of putting z depth in the sprites? I don't want to use a plain (3d) object.

( The background is a screen filling sprite of a landscape and it moves when the player moves.)

It has to be 100% 2d.

From what I remember, you can't put 2d images (like text sent to the screen) in front of a sprite. A sprite is always in front.

You can, however manage the priority of the sprites (which sprites are in front and which sprites are behind). I believe the sprite number decides which sprite is front of which sprite.

If you create a background bitmap and send your text command there, capture that as an image and create a sprite, you should be able to have that in front of the other stuff.

Enjoy your day.

Wow writing to a bitmap and grabbing int and using it as a sprite worked.

Thank you very much.

The sprite oder is good to know, I am using depth with the trees.

I am almost done. When it is done (I hope this weekend), I can post it in program announcement (incoluding code)?


Have to put some sound with it, a start screen and an ending screen.

Greetings.

Hi HomerS,

I know a trick to overwrite a sprite; Use the command "draw any sync on".
I never really tested this command, so I advise you to make tests before use.

Mij coding is nog 100 % oke, but it is fun.

As a DBPro/DarkGDK programmer, I can’t say I’m too familiar with DarkBasic Classic. I really don’t understand why everyone insists on using sprites for there background. Paste Image can handle any requirement needed for a background image without this kind of problem.

tnx latch, just like a little of depth.

Wickedx, I am an amateur with less time to program, so I did it as a sprite, it works, but the whole programming can be written better.

LOL

Now I am playing arround with AGK2 by steam. Have to keep up with time. apps appss appsssssss......
