Re: Help making a game with transparency
Hi everyone, I tried creating a program which simply shows the
image of the ship near the corner of the screen, just for testing
sake. Here it is:
import arsd.gamehelpers, arsd.image;
void main()
{
SimpleWindow window = create2dWindow("Space Invaders", 1000,
400);
OpenGlTexture ship = new
OpenGlTexture(loadImageFromFile("images/ship_normal.png").getAsTrueColorImage());
window.eventLoop(40,
(/*no events*/)
{
window.redrawOpenGlSceneNow;
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT |
GL_ACCUM_BUFFER_BIT);
glLoadIdentity;
ship.draw(20, 20, 41, 47);
});
}
But the screen stays all white, nothing appears in it. Any ideas
what needs to be changed?

If everyone who downloaded my libraries contributed just $3 / month, I'd be able to devote myself to expanding these libraries to support more use cases. What are your pages that you want people subscribing to? And what is your patreon page? I may buy your book "D cookbook" next year, that will probably be a good contribution.
Saving and loading large data sets easily and efficiently
I have done some large computations where the data set is around 10GB and takes several minutes to run. Rather than running it every time regenerating the same data, can I simply save it to disk easily? The data is ordered in arrays and structs. It's just numbers/POD except some arrays use pointers to elements in other arrays(so the structs are not duplicated). Hence any saving routine would have to take this in to account and properly reference the references structs rather than duplicate them... Hence why it is not so simple as writing out the array data. Ideally it would write to binary to save space. Essentially pointers will get to file offsets and so, in some sense, it is as if one had a memory map where ptr = 0 is the start of the data structure and ptr=34 would reference the 34 byte. All pointers in the data struct refer to all pointers relative to the main structure(no heal allocations except for the arrays of struct pointers). So it much more difficult than POD but would still be a little more work to right... hoping that there is something already out there than can do this. It should be The way the data is structured is that I have a master array of non-ptr structs. E.g., S[] Data; S*[] OtherStuff; then every pointer points to an element in to Data. I did not use int's as "pointers" for a specific non-relevant reason but I should be able to convert every pointer to an index by simply removing the offset. [Technically I do not know if this is occurring but it should] OtherStuff's elements just reference Data's elements. I imagine it wouldn't be that difficult to write out the Data. Save Data to a file then append the rest of the info and all pointers from memory can be converted to pointers to disk by simple a ptr - Data.ptr. It still requires managing some issues stuff though. As I do have some associative arrays: S*[int] MoreStuff; So I'm looking for a more robust solution that will handle any future expansions.

It uses Derelict 2.0 bindings and will draw a PNG image where you can move around with cursor keys. If you want I can send you the whole project (Makefile, DLL's) and everything else to build it. Code: /* 02/10/2012 */ import std.stdio; import derelict.sdl.sdl; import derelict.sdl.image; Matheus. Thank you very much.
