:?:


Graphics cards have special chips to handle the drawing of pixels, and the 3D supported graphics cards have special chips to handle scaling and rotations. I dont think many PDAs for example have 3D graphics cards...

So to get a game running really fast with these effects, the program talks directly to the graphics card instead of the motherboard CPU handling it. The problem is that there are so many varieties. It would make it impossible for makslane to do alone.

how would you change 'em then?

If your x and y are at zero, and the frames are 32x32 then you have four corners at <-16,-16> <16, -16> <-16, 16> and <16, 16>

You need some experience first. but i think you will get there.

Self-experience I think...it would teach you fastly then just look at someone's demo... :oops:

You've said that you got your skills mostly from demos...that demos are made by another people right?

about the scale funtion...
couldn't you use the width and height vars?
Example(x = your value of increasement):

Code: Select all
Myactor.width = Myactor.width +x;
Myactor.height = Myactor.height +x;

Well, if you study to learn a skill and your study uses books written by someone else, thats self taught. Same with programming and demos.
