This might not be the best way, but here's what I'm doing...

+ Code Snippet

    if GetPointerState()
        x# = GetPointerX()
        y# = GetPointerY()

        if GetSpriteHit(x#, y#) = randomizeSpr
            SetSpriteImage(randomizeSpr, longbuttondownImg)
        else
            SetSpriteImage(randomizeSpr, longbuttonupImg)
        endif
    endif

I have a sprite with it's ID in randomizeSpr, and two images for it, one with a "button up" graphic, one with a "button down" graphic. Then I do a check for GetPointerReleased()...

+ Code Snippet

    if GetPointerReleased()
        x# = GetPointerX()
        y# = GetPointerY()

        if GetSpriteHit(x#, y#) = randomizeSpr
            SetSpriteImage(randomizeSpr, longbuttonupImg)
            PlaySound(clickSnd)
            Gosub randomizeAll
        endif
    endif

Have you tried using the AddVirtualButton button function, it will do the work for you...

You can customise the button with functions like:

SetVirtualButtonSize
SetVirtualButtonPosition
SetVirtualButtonImageUp
SetVirtualButtonImageDown

You can get the state of the button with functions like:

GetVirtualButtonState
GetVirtualButtonPressed
GetVirtualButtonReleased

There are examples in the examples/input/virtualbuttons folder

Hope this helps

The frustrating weakness with Virtual buttons is the lack of tristate support for Enabled / Disabled buttons.

The addition of SetVirtualButtonEnabled and GetVirtualButtonEnabled plus a way too set a disabled image using SetVirtualButtonImageDisabled would make it a very useful too.

I've added SetVirtualButtonImageDisabled to the suggestions list for 107.

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

@LeeBamber:
It would be nice if you could add a command that sets the width/height of the virtualbutton aswell. Thanks.

Also being able to set the size of the text (both width (X) and height (Y) independently) inside the button would be great.

I also agree that being able to set the width (X) and height (Y) independently of each other (instead of using one size setting) would be great.

I think it's this part:

+ Code Snippet

back = loadimage ("back.png")
sprite = createsprite (back)
setspritesize (back,10,10)

You are loading an image called "back" and assigning the image to a sprite called "sprite". Then in the loop you are trying to affect a sprite called "back" (which doesn't exist).

Try changing it to this:

+ Code Snippet

image = loadimage ("back.png")
back = createsprite (image)
setspritesize (back,10,10)

I hope that helps!

ive fixed it

SetDisplayAspect ( 4.0 / 3.0 )
setclearcolor (250,250,250)

cardback =loadimage ("cardback.png")
sprite = createsprite (cardback)
setspritesize (cardback,12,21)

do
if GetPointerState()
x# = GetPointerX()
y# = GetPointerY()

if GetSpriteHit(x#, y#) = cardback
SetSpritesize (cardback,12,21)
endif
endif

if GetPointerReleased()
x# = GetPointerX()

No you haven't...

You are referring to a sprite called "cardback" which does not exist. You have loaded an image called "cardback" not a sprite called "cardback". It is fundamental that you understand this.

It is likely that the image and sprite have the same ID value because you are creating them automatically but if you happen to create more sprites before loading this image your code will stop working and you won't know why.

+ Code Snippet

cardback =loadimage ("cardback.png") `image loaded and it's ID is assigned to a variable called "cardback"
sprite = createsprite (cardback) `sprite created using the correct image ID and assigned the sprite ID to the variable "sprite"
setspritesize (cardback,12,21) `editing a sprite with a SPRITE ID of "cardback"

I'm not offended I just didn't see the point in trying to help if you didn't want to listen. No offence back, honestly

Wow, powerpoint presentation really?

There were two problems in the original code:
First is you were looking for a sprite called "cardback" which doesn't exist. It is pure coincidence that the sprite and image have the same ID. Your code may work without getting this right but if you don't understand that it is wrong you will continue coding incorrectly in the future and cause yourself more grief than you can imagine.

Second you were changing the image for the sprite to "cardbackImg" which has not been loaded anywhere in the code (hence the white sprite).

The important thing is that you understand what I wrote.

1-Load an image and assign it to an "imageID"
2-Create a sprite using the "imageID" and assign it to a "spriteID"
3-Use the spriteID when affecting the sprite in any way

Example:
imageID = loadImage(imageName$)
spriteID = createSprite(imageID)
setSpritePosition(spriteID,x#,y#)

Not quite.

What happens when you load an image and let AppGameKit decide what imageID to give it is it starts at 10,000 and increments that number for each auto-generated imageID after that. It does the same for spriteID's (starting at 10,000) so since you currently only created one image and one sprite they both have an ID of 10000. If you print the value of "sprite" and "cardback" you'll see they are both "10000".

If you continue this way you will find errors creeping in, hard to trace errors.

When you make a larger game it is good practice to load your media before you start using it so what will happen is you will load 30 images (for example) and later create sprites using those images. What will happen if you don't use the image number by mistake is you'll either call for a sprite that doesn't exist or you'll call the wrong sprite.

Just follow my guidelines and this will never happen:
imageID = loadImage(imageName$)
spriteID = createSprite(imageID)
setSpritePosition(spriteID,x#,y#)
...do anything at all to a sprite using spriteID.

Sorry for the double post:
Can I suggest you take a look at the first two "AGK Bitesize" tutorials that I have recently started writing for the TGC newsletter? They will soon have their own home on the AppGameKit website but for now you can see them on the App Developers Group website here:
AGK Bitesize 1
AGK Bitesize 2
I'm trying to build up a simple-ish introduction to AppGameKit for users of all abilities and I'd value your opinion on how useful they are. Hopefully they will help you to understand some of the concepts behind AppGameKit a little better

so is this right

circle1= loadimage ("circle1.png")
sprite1=createsprite (circle1)
setspritesize (sprite1,12,21)

circle2= loadimage ("circle2.png")
sprite2=createsprite (circle2)
setspritesize (sprite2,12,21)

This'd make all your 75 sprites be set in randomized positions, across the whole screen.

BASIC code:

+ Code Snippet

i as integer
for i = 1 to 75
    SetSpritePosition(i,Random(0,GetVirtualWidth()),Random(0,GetVirtualHeight())))
next i

C++ code:

+ Code Snippet

for(int i = 1; i < 72; i++)
{
    agk::SetSpritePosition(i,agk::Random(0,agk::GetVirtualWidth()),agk::Random(0,agk::GetVirtualHeight())));
}

I haven't seen that version of the random command in Tier 1 kamac, is that right?

I would normally do it like this:

+ Code Snippet

i as integer
for i = 1 to 75
    SetSpritePosition(i,Random(0,GetVirtualWidth()),Random(0,GetVirtualHeight()))
next i

Also you would have to set the spriteID's to match by creating your sprites like this:

+ Code Snippet

for i = 1 to 75
    createSprite(i,imageID)
next

I just re-read your post, you want to set a random sprite in a set place right?

Just put all your sprite ID's in a simple array like this:

+ Code Snippet

dim sprites[75] as integer
sprites[1] = createSprite(image1)
sprites[2] = createSprite(image2)
sprites[3] = createSprite(image3)
`...etc.

Then to select a random sprite to put into position do this:

+ Code Snippet

selectSprite = random(1,75)
setSpritePosition(sprites[selectSprite],x#,y#)

    SetSpriteSize(sprites[i],width#,height#)
next i

In answer to the post you just beat me with, no. use something like above.

Another thing, edit your previous post using the "Edit Post" link below it unless someone has posted since your last message. "Double posting" occasionally is OK but the moderators will not like it if you do it a lot like you are doing.
