!!WARNING!! New library version NOT backward compatible!!

• Credit: Sam and Ron Cook.
• Here is the Library source code.
• Here is the library on-line documentation (or zipped), here is the compiled html.
• Here is the pc_dll.

New features:

• Primitives:
  • Normal direction (perpendicular to the Front Direction)
  • Sprite support
• Sprite Support:
  • SetTextureSpriteSheet (vs. SetTexture)
  • SetTextureSpriteAnimationFrames
  • UseSpriteSheet (instead of use texture)
  • UseSpriteSheetAnimation (sequence through the set frames)
• Particle Support
  • Particle: one particle
  • ParticleEmitter: capable of emitting one or many particles
  • ParticleEmitter.ExplodeEmitter and TailEmitter: explodes and emits
  • Emitter can be attached to a primitive (follow the primitive)

Examples: 

1. SpriteSheet Demo:
Shows the normal vector and working with sprite sheet
• Rotating circle/square shows each primitive now has a front and normal vectors
• SpriteSheet: a textuer with many images
• Button-A: to see SpriteSheet vs Texture
  • Can set both for a primitive
  • UseSpriteSheet determines if one frame or entire texture.
• Button-B: to show useSpriteSheetAnimation (to stop the animation)
• Left-Thumb stick to rotate hero.
• Drawing sprite sheet is a lot of work!! In this case,

 

2. Particle demo:
integrated particle system support ...
• Button-A: explosion particle emitter
• PrimitiveParticle: supports additive blending!
• ParticleEmitters can be attached to primitives
• Two predefined particle types: Explosion and Tail
• You can subclass from Emitters to create your own emitter types!!
