Edit: Ignore this! It's already done - as "shaders", I'm told.
------------------------------

2D sprite masking, in the sense of how programs like Flash or Animate define it where it's like looking through a window onto a sprite; the parts of the sprite that don't overlap with the "window" are invisible.

An image to clarify the concept, with mask sprite "A" hiding behind the backdrop "Bg" in the third panel so as to appear invisible:


Ideally SetSpriteShape could be applied to a masked sprite as you might expect - with invisible parts of the sprite being excluded from its hitbox.

My apologies if this is already in AppGameKit and I didn't notice it! I see someone asked about it in a thread a few years ago, but they were given a workaround that only applies to their particular example, and would not work in the case of multiple masked sprites moving independently of the background (and each other).

I am sure that what you are talking about is done by shaders like this.



main.agc


shader.ps


UPD: Although not quite the same, you need to use full-screen shaders.

Thanks, Qugurun. I just assumed these "shaders" everyone was talking about was a 3D lighting effect and never looked into it, as I haven't tried out 3D yet. Boy is my face red!

Pixel perfect sprite collision isnt too hard to do with a shader, depending on the type of collision. Do you mean for bullets etc, or for walking on the ground?

I'm moderately familiar with VS....I'd be interested in how you create a custom DLL that links in with AppGameKit personally. Perhaps when you are done you could post a guide or template?

How do you pass an array into a plugin function? Or are they accessable be defauly as they are global? Do you also have to pass in global variables?

EDIT: so I've converted some of my slower functions to a C++ plug in, but I'm having issues where it seems to sporadically corrupt memblocks. Has anyone else found this?

I have had some random issues with memblocks in VS2019/VS2017/VS2015 from time to time, until I turned off my virus checker app and tweaked some debugger options. Otherwise, returning pointer address of a memblock as well as dword, byte, word and strings work fine in tier2 and tier1 (as a 3rd party plugin).

would like to see some real time sound changing like pitch tone and speed for starters
or perhaps some dll that would allow something like this https://jfxr.frozenfractal.com/?fbclid=IwAR2nizPMG13XHiG3tOlGG26wa2riC30-6MIDPOlQiozPa_mtlm3kf2wr3J8#
ive seen midi work done with agk before so perhaps this would be the next step


I know it is possible with memblocks to change the hz etc but not really good for real time

Bored of the rings, memblocks work fine through a plug in without the pointer - you just pass in the number and the plugin works - I assume Paul fixed this at some time. My issue was....well, my issue. I wasn;t making the memblock number a constant, so it was changing it each iteration of code.

yes works fine without pointers, in DBPro memblock pointers (and ptrs for banks and alloc memory) worked a lot faster than AGK. I wanted to get pointers working mainly in Tier 2 c+ which is a lot faster than Tier 1 , which is why I added it. So, for Tier 1 I would probably just use the memblock id and standard commands and for Tier2, use the pointers. At the moment these commands are for my purpose only at the moment. I have a few projects on the go where I need faster processing, like OBJ format reading in etc... all very easy to do.

no ETA or deadline that I'm working to, I have a lot of other programming and personal commitments, so not rushing. I believe Madbit is doing a plugin for windows controls (Nuklear), which is pretty good and based on IMGUI. so that is one thing off my list.

setautomaticobjectcollisionon (1.1) or (1.0). Any collisions of 3d objects would be detected without the use of raycast! This command exists in Dbpro. Excuse my bad English

just for 2d sprites. If two or more or the same sprite collide, a action will happen. Think in terms of a match three game. There's no way to say, all 4 sprites are together. I can delete whole groups at the same time but not if there touching.

Guys!

AGK right now needs a way to load a 3d object with a texture and animation! Most people who have in interrest in 3d are banging their head just to be able to load a 3dObject with animation and texture! How can someone do a 3d Game if loading a 3dObject with animation and texture is requiring a Phd? DArk Basic Classic was able to do that with a single command! (banging my head on my desk multiple times...)

I am really trying to keep my stick on the ice here, hearing you talking about memeryblock access and so forth. Most indie programmers never go in those territories... you do have to be fairly advance to go there. I used to do Dark Basic Games in 3d in Dark basic classic and now, even after 3 weeks of research, i still can't load an object with animation that retain its texture in AppGameKit (And i am not alone!!!)

AGK claim to be able to load .blend .obj .pbx .my sister, yet, when i load any of those, i get mixed result. this is unacceptable of any engine and make people go to Unity / Godot instead.

Ok, hope this get into one of the priority feature soon. We can't aford to lose 3 weeks trying to load an object in AGK.

I would like to have the possiblity to write plugins also for iOS and Android.

I would like to have AppGameKit as library for Windows, OSX, iOS and Android.

I would like to run AppGameKit in my Apps (AppGameKit writes to the Graphics context of the components of my apps) in Windows, OSX, iOS and Android.

A command that I would love to see in AppGameKit is:

integer GetSpriteShapeHitTest ( iSpriteIndex, iShapeIndex, x, y )

Such a command would allow to create interactive menus using a single sprite for a menu column and individual sprite shapes for the rows. At the moment you would have to create individual sprites for each row in a column in the case you would want to use the GetSpriteHitTest command.

Thanks blink
what ide like to see is a basic inventory system
which allows pop push delete of an item
then find first and last of int, string etc returning the id
all can be done by pointers it could real speed up certain
doing these calculations even just for next loops are bottle necks in agk
perhaps even a swapinventory item from inva to invb and any searches that can
be done the standard tree search algorthym be fine search by group return the invc of them

I would looooooove:

1) The ability to draw pixels to the backbuffer, and get pixel-level information from what's on-screen. DrawPixel(X,Y,ARBG) and GetPixelColor(X,Y)
2) A (much) faster set of sprite commands, namely SetSpriteAnimation and DrawSprite.
3) Support for Midi files of course, but some old formats like mod/xm/s3m would be fun too
4) A print command with coordinates for when you need to write text to a specific place on the screen, but where creating a text object would be add unnecessary code for no real reason.

something like that would be so usefull, I hadn't find oppurtunity to switch Tier 2 yet, as we discussed before. Direct access without any controls and all blame is on to the users of this command if any error occurs.

MemBuffer = GetMemblockBuffer(MemblockID)
extern "C" DLL_EXPORT unsigned char* GetMemblockBuffer(UINT i)
{
unsigned char* buf = agk::GetMemblockPtr(i);
return buf;
}

WriteBuffer(MemBuffer, Offset, int)
extern "C" DLL_EXPORT void WriteBuffer(int& b, int o, int d)
{
*(b + o) = d;
}


UWriteBuffer(MemBuffer, Offset, int)
extern "C" DLL_EXPORT void UWriteBuffer(UINT& b, int o, UINT d)
{
*(b + o) = d;
}

FWriteBuffer(MemBuffer, Offset, float)
extern "C" DLL_EXPORT void FWriteBuffer(float& b, int o, float d)
{
*(b + o) = f;
}



ReadBuffer(MemBuffer, Offset)
extern "C" DLL_EXPORT int ReadBuffer(int& b, int o)
{
int r = *(b + o);
return r;
}


UReadBuffer(MemBuffer, Offset)
extern "C" DLL_EXPORT UINT ReadBuffer(UINT& b, int o)
{
UINT r = *(b + o);
return r;
}



FReadBuffer(MemBuffer, Offset)
extern "C" DLL_EXPORT float ReadBuffer(float& b, int o)
{
UINT r = *(b + o);
return r;
}


P.S. c++ codes might not be correct.
