Does anyone know why the following code only displays the bottom sprite (the enemy life bar)? If I swap the order of those two lines, the player's life bar is displayed only. I want them both displayed at the same time.


void hudLoadSprites (void)
{
dbLoadImage ("Assets\\HUD\\lifebarback.PNG", IMAGE_LIFEBARBACK, 1);
dbLoadImage ("Assets\\HUD\\lifebarbackenemy.PNG", IMAGE_LIFEBARBACKENEMY, 1);
}


void hudDraw (void)
{
// Draw player life bar
dbSprite (SPRITE_LIFEBARBACK, 50, 50, IMAGE_LIFEBARBACK);

// Draw enemy life bar
dbSprite (SPRITE_ENEMYLIFEBARBACK, 400, 50, IMAGE_LIFEBARBACKENEMY);
}

It needs double backslashes for a reason. You know things like \n and \b? It needs a second \ to be read as a backslash.

Huh. I would try to use \\ though for standards and just-in-case reasons.

I believe so. Even in Windows Explorer, \ is used, not /.

I won't claim to be an expert but I will offer that Unix/Linux use the forward slash for delimiting directories rather than a back slash (whack). Perhaps the OS (or the compiler?) is being a bit compliant for the sake of portable code as long as the context it's being used in relates to file names.
