   Game Question
  Hey, im making a little game that involves a cannon witch u can lower and raise and fire....and i made picture of it at different heights and different stages of fire... I figured out how to make it switch from higher to lower but how can i link several images in a row??? plz respond if u know how...Thanks   
  I''m assuming when u say ''link several images'' u mean to display the cannon with multiple frames.All u need to do is create a struct like so...(one way of doing it)   typedef CANNON{    RECT  rcFrames[MAX_FRAMES];    WORD  nCurrentFrame;    POINT ptScreenPos;} Then make an instance of the struct: CANNON Cannon;Fill its initial variables:SetRect(&Cannon.rcFrames[0], 0,0,32,32);SetRect(&Cannon.rcFrames[1], 32,0,64,32);SetRect(&Cannon.rcFrames[2], 64,0,96,32);etc...Cannon.ptScreenPos.x = 100;Cannon.ptScreenPos.y = 100;Cannon.nCurrentFrame = 0;Update the current frame variable every frame or so:Cannon.nCurrentFrame++;if(Cannon.nCurrentFrame >= MAX_FRAMES) Cannon.nCurrentFrame = 0;Then blit it by parsing the rect to ->Blt()lpDDSCannon->Blt(.., &Cannon.rcFrames[Cannon.nCurrentFrame], ..)Hope this helps :)Downloads, D3DXSprite tutorial, New platform game:  .-= The ZeroOne Realm =-. ;  is that pascal???(im using delphi)  ;  Hey,Don''t post in more than one forum just to "get more attention."
