 Posted: Aug 22nd, 2005 12:51 PM Post subject: Deleting an old sprite in BITBLT |
 |
|
I'm using bitblt to make a space shooter game. But im using a textured background and cant figure out how to delete/overwrite a sprite when finished with it.
For example..
If I'm moving my space craft left it will need to keep being drawn over and over moving slightly left everytime. How do I delete where it was, before putting it where its going to be.
I was toying with the idea of recording where all the sprites are. Then just redrawing the whole scene from scratch having moved one piece along before hand. But this is abit rich in processing.
I've been reading about Double masking. But I've only just started using bitblt. I dont want to over complicate myself.
Any ideas are very welcome

| In the meantime, could you use an image box or a picture box and just move that along? That was the road I didn't want to switch you to in your other post but as a temporary fix that might be workable. |
