I can't help you with your array but you shouln't be so blunt/harsh with your request. No one will help you if you demand an answer.

Brash... but please anyway...

I did notice the other post but without any extra info about your original setting up of your sprites there's not much to go on.

Are you setting up the same sprite multiple times?

Are you laying out a level to be displayed on the screen?

What have you got so far?

Look up the vector library for C++.

I'm not giving you step by step instructions but this should give you a start.

Unhelpful Titles

Please do not simply write "Noob Question", "I am a newb", "One Noobie Question", "A question", "Please help", "This isn't working" or anything similar as the title of your post. We have a search facility, and meaningless titles do not help others find answers to their questions. It will also help you to get quicker responses if people have an idea of your thread content.

Not quite sure if this is what you're looking for, but have you tried



As far as positioning them go, I have no idea.

And BatVink is right, your post title does not help anybody who may have a similar question/problem.

Well it depends a little on if you have a consistant flat platform for your level or if it's somewhat like mario or something with platforms at various heights.

if you just have a flat consistant platform for your level then just use a for loop to draw it out.

int i;
for(i=1; i<50; i++){
sprite(i, i*SpriteWidth, PlatformHeight, ImgageNum);
}


now for a more complex multi-platform type level you will need to set up an array with your level data then use 2 for loops to generate the level. You can have 0=nothing and 1=platform.

LevelData[50][50];
int x, y = 0;
int i = 1;
for(y=0; y<50; y++){
for(x=0; x<50; x++){
if(LevelData[x][y]==1){ sprite(i, x*SpriteWidth, y*SpriteHeight, ImageNum); i++; }
}
}


I dont use the sprite commands so I know that isnt the correct way to use sprites, but it may give you a better idea of how to go about this. It can also be optimized better to only draw what is on the screen instead of the entire level. Hopes this helps you out some.
