SDL + (2 by 2) TileMap = SLOW?
|
I'm making a game where the player can dig tunnels through dirt. I've got the multi-layered level drawn without slowdown, but now that I've added a 2x2 tile tunnel map on top of the rest of the level, the game runs very slowly. A 16 X 16 tile tu... |

Platform: Dreamcast
I've been using pvr to load my images. This aspect of the game has been working fine up until the time I started using big images (1024 X 512). Firstly, I'd like to know if my drawImage function is correct. In the function, th... |

I used to never use CAPS LOCK and thought it should be removed. Of course, there was a time when I didn't use other keys/combinations like ctrl+right, or home then shift+end. Nowadays, I use as many keys/combinations as possible, including caps lock.... |

Collecting Games
|
I'm somewhat of a collector of PlayStation RPGs (psx 2 & 3), and I'd probably collect SNES RPGs if so many of them hadn't been remade for other systems. I hear the DS is pretty good for RPGs as well, but I probably wouldn't buy or get into it due to... |

SDL + (2 by 2) TileMap = SLOW?

For those of you who search this post and are in need of a solution, I finally figured out a way to speed the game up. SDL_FillRect works great for me. All I needed was solid rectangles anyway.
Note: I switched back to SDL from OpenGL to try this... |

Also - be aware that immediate mode is being deprecated in future versions of OpenGL (glBegin/glEnd) so some of the OpenGL enthusiasts may point you towards vertex buffer objects (VBOs) and shaders for this type of t... |

Yes - generate the dirt surface once at load time and then apply that surface each frame.
Will this take up a lot of memory? Maybe I should apply the entire map to the surface at the beginning of a level, since... |

My suggestion is instead of drawing a bunch of tiles for dirt or empty space - render the dirt to a surface once at the beginning of a level.
Are you saying to render the dirt to a surface other than the screen... |
