Detailed Description

Collection of Bitmaps (used for animation).

Author:

Mattias Gustavsson

A bitmap strip is a collection of individual Bitmaps which are meant to be used together to form an animation sequence. A bitmap strip can either be loaded directly from a binary asset as created with the PixiePCT utility, or created from an image containing one or more cels.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BitmapStrip::BitmapStrip

Definition at line 18 of file BitmapStrip.cpp.

BitmapStrip::BitmapStrip

(

const Asset &

asset

)

Creates a bitmap strip from a binary .rle file created by the Palettizer tool. This is a fast way of creating a bitmap strip, as the data in an .rle file is organized so that it can mostly just be read straight into memory with very little additional operations.

Parameters:

asset

Asset to create the bitmap strip from.

Definition at line 25 of file BitmapStrip.cpp.

BitmapStrip::BitmapStrip

(

const Image &

image

)

Creates a bitmap strip from an image with one or more cels. This is a slow way of creating a bitmap strip, as the data is copied several times and the image might also need to be palettized before becoming an RLE, but it can still be useful to use this method during development. Before you ship your game, you should definitely change everything over to use RLEs though, as this will practically eliminate loading times.

Parameters:

image

Image to create the bitmap strip from
