Animated Sprite Factory

Here you will find various resources to help you create games and apps in Gideros Studio.
note: You may have to provide your own assets (fonts, gfx, …).

Description

This section deals with animating any of your sprites (player, enemies, collectibles, ...). It can be used either in conjunction with cbump, liquidfun or as a standalone class.

Animation Sprite Factory (player, enemies, collectibles, npcs, ...)

This animation sprite factory class allows you to control all your characters parameters like speed, animations, ...

	Sprite_Maker:init(xname, xspritesheet, xcols, xrows, xposx, xposy)

	Where:
	xname (String) = the name of your sprite (default are "player1", "enemy01", "coin01")
	xspritesheet (String) = the path to your spritesheet gfx (png, jpeg, ...)
	xcols (int) = the number of columns of your sprite spritesheet
	xrows (int) = the number of rows of your sprite spritesheet
	xposx (int) = initial x position of your sprite
	xposy (int) = initial y position of your sprite
	
	example:
	local player1 = Sprite_Maker.new("player1", "gfx/hero/HQ_Trooper_all.png", 6, 13, 64, 128)
