I find these classes today in include folder. I just wanted to write a class named cSprite. and then I found it in the AppGameKit include folder. can it replace "ago::loadImage()" and the functions like this?

It is possible to use these classes directly, however, at the moment there isn't any documentation for them. I would suggest focusing on the commands listed within the documentation and attempting to use those.

what is the difference between them?

and if you will make the documentation for the classes ,how long will it take?

Some of the classes have functionality that is not exposed to the main commands.

Not certain when the documentation for these classes will be sorted out. It's not a priority right now.

would love to get some info on these classes too, for example I load a picture from the iphone camera photos using c++, and I want to pass this photo to a cImage.

I am thinking which way I should use. the agk::loadImage() or Image image;image.load();

I really don't know which one I should chose.

for the first choice, I also need to write class for sprite. so I don't know if I should use cSprite directly.

Here's how I used it



And by the way, I still don't understand how LoadImage works!! I mean how to store media and call it from folders.

In tier one I spent ages to discover that I should put my files inside "Media" folder and to call something like:
"Media\sprite\mySprite.png"
I use LoadImage("sprite/mySprite.png")

while in C++ I should copy it to the Final folder or it'll never get loaded

And didn't find anything about that in the docs.

I'm back

cSprite m_sSky;
m_sSky.setImage("sky.png");

I don't know I am so new to C++ myself, maybe someone else would answer that.

What I do understand is that declaring a class like that can be done only for classes that has no pointers inside them ... maybe

but it really doesn't make much difference for me at least.

I think Mike has some really good advice. Continuing down this path is only going to continue to frustrate. I would just follow the documentation and produce a game from that and the examples. No need to complicate it more than it should be. I'm fairly certain that we will get that information eventually but at some point you have to call it a day.
I know C++ but right now I figured that I would get my game working in Tier 1 first before I move on to Tier 2 so I can get a game done.

As Mike suggestiosn, avoid the use of the internal AppGameKit classes and stick with the agk:: calls. You will thank us for this advice as we move to new platforms and ventures

I drink tea, and in my spare time I write software.
