Hi, For a small game that I was making in order to get accustomed to factor, I needed to load textures from a sprite sheet. Basically, I wanted to take an image and split it into pieces of fixed dimensions. I wasn't able to find words to help me there (may be there are and I am unaware). So I ended up introducing a few new words:
new-image-like: create a new empty image having properties of an existing image but with modified dimensions image-part: extract a part of an image into a separate image generate-sprite-sheet: given an image, produce a sequence of images having fixed width and heights These new words can be seen implemented here: https://github.com/rationalrevolt/factor-practice/blob/master/images/sprites/sprites.factor A small test program using these words is present here: https://github.com/rationalrevolt/factor-practice/blob/master/sprite-test/sprite-test.factor If these are useful, could someone recommend a vocabulary that could contain them? The words new-image-like and image-part could reside in the images vocab. I'm not sure where the generate-sprite-sheet word could fit in or if it is sufficiently useful to include.
