This is a REALbasic sprite demo. It makes the beginnings of a scrolling platform game. It illustrates using a scrolling SpriteSurface with a large virtual world (100x100 tiles, which is 6400x6400 pixels).
Functionality:
You can walk around using the arrow keys, and jump usign the command key (in the Mac OS build). That's pretty much it -- no hazards, bad guys, or collisions yet. Press the Escape key to exit.
Compatibility:
This code requires REALbasic 3.0. It will not work correctly (and may crash) in earlier versions of RB.
About the Sprites:
The sprites in this demo were modeled in 3D using Meshwork [1], then ray-traced using POV-Ray [2]. See [3] for details on this process. The source files are included in the "graphics work" folder.
Revisions:
23 Mar 2000: updated to use new world coordinate system in 2.1a29.
25 Jan 2001: updated to use new SpriteSurface features of RB 3.0.
