Sprites in a UI toolkit, odd? True but i thought it might be in here somewhere. It's for a dumb little off-shoot of something i want to do. The dumb little thing is a text editor where the chars are all sprites that are subject to mild physical effects: getting bumped this way and that as strings are moved around, falling over each other as the user inserts text, etc. Deleting text sends it falling down, leaving it to pile up. Just a bit of fun. The something else is a (standard) text editor as a basis for a kind of text processing. Using OpenGL directly is fine (i'm familiar enough with it to hack basic stuff up) and a little google has shown me a few tutes on how to implement sprites in gl. So it's all good, as i said just making sure there wasn't a sprite handler in here all ready for me! _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
