Scale Sprite based on Sprite Number

Wed, 06 Jan 2021 00:29:20 UTC

Hi All,

I wrote a small function to scale 8x8 sprites using a sprite number instead of using sspr() itself and having to pick out the x and y position each time.

I'm using it for the Toy Box Jam 2 where you have a spritesheet already made and you want to quickly resize things.

Updated function with feedback from @freds72 and @MBoffin:

function xspr(sprt,x,y,w,h)
    --sprt: sprite number
    --x: x position
    --y: y position
    --w: new sprite width
    --h: new sprite height
    local sx=(sprt%16)*8
    local sy=sprt\16*8
    sspr(sx,sy,8,8,x,y,w,h)
end

Original function:

Probably already exists someplace but thought I'd share my own solution to the problem.

Cheers

To motivate me to continue working on the project I'm uploading a WIP version of a platformer I've been making.

Feel free to offer feedback but I know it's rough around the edges!

Arrows move

Z/C shoot

X switches ship mode.

The Robot mode's weapon reflects enemy shots. If a reflected shot takes out an enemy ship, you gain a charge.

Decided to have a crack at making a shmup after rolling the name Striking Thunder in the #RNDGAME2020 jam. Kudos to Dan for creating the title screen.
