draw_from, change scale and rotate

I am more than 1 year GE user...
at least 1 and a half!
...
maybe I haven't advanced properly

I'm still...wait, so...you're older than me???

Ideally its best done by the graphics card. That makes it rather difficult for Makslane to deal with, seeing how GE is for all these platforms.

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.

You can calculate other points based on that.

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>

After all, you know the size of your image.

how do I change it?

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

[Bee-Ant]

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

no, I'm 14, I may just have used GE longer...

hopefully

Self-experience I think

the demo's have been a great halp to me =D

[Bee-Ant]

I mean older as GE user...huh, I like work alone...and find something by my self...

[Kalladdolf]

=D
me too,
I got mosta my skills from self-experience

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;

does it work?

I didn't say exactly that, just think of 50-50

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.

who knows about a good site or book to learn C?

[Bee-Ant]

I think a good site to learn C is here
game-editor.com/forum
because you can talk anything there...

[Kalladdolf]

or wikipedia...
if you're looking for something specific

Sometimes wikipedia cant give me specific information...
