Detailed Description

Metasprite support

A metasprite is a larger sprite made up from a collection of smaller individual hardware sprites. Different frames of the same metasprites can share tile data.

See the main metasprite docs under the game Boy platform for additional details.

Macro Definition Documentation

metasprite_end

#define metasprite_end   -128

METASPR_ITEM

			a
	)		{(dy),(dx),(dt)}

METASPR_TERM

#define METASPR_TERM   {metasprite_end}

Typedef Documentation

metasprite_t

typedef struct metasprite_t metasprite_t

Metasprite sub-item structure

Parameters

dy	(int8_t) Y coordinate of the sprite relative to the metasprite origin (pivot)
dx	(int8_t) X coordinate of the sprite relative to the metasprite origin (pivot)
dtile	(uint8_t) Start tile relative to the metasprites own set of tiles

Metasprites are built from multiple metasprite_t items (one for each sub-sprite) and a pool of tiles they reference. If a metasprite has multiple frames then each frame will be built from some number of metasprite_t items (which may vary based on how many sprites are required for that particular frame).

A metasprite frame is terminated with a {metasprite_end} entry.

Function Documentation

hide_sprites_range()

void hide_sprites_range	(	UINT8	from,
		UINT8	to
	)

Hides all hardware sprites in range from <= X < to

Parameters

from	start OAM index
to	finish OAM index

move_metasprite_ex()

uint8_t move_metasprite_ex ( const metasprite_t *  metasprite, uint8_t  base_tile, uint8_t  base_prop, uint8_t  base_sprite, uint16_t  x, uint16_t  y  )

inline

Moves metasprite to the absolute position x and y

Parameters

metasprite	Pointer to the first struct of the metasprite (for the desired frame)
base_tile	Number of the first tile where the metasprite's tiles start
base_prop	Base sprite property flags (unused on this platform)
base_sprite	Number of the first hardware sprite to be used by the metasprite
x	Absolute x coordinate of the sprite
y	Absolute y coordinate of the sprite

Moves metasprite to the absolute position x and y (with no flip on the X or Y axis). Hardware sprites are allocated starting from base_sprite, using tiles starting from base_tile.

Sets:

• __current_metasprite = metasprite;
• __current_base_tile = base_tile;

Returns

Number of hardware sprites used to draw this metasprite

move_metasprite()

uint8_t move_metasprite ( const metasprite_t *  metasprite, uint8_t  base_tile, uint8_t  base_sprite, uint16_t  x, uint16_t  y  )

inline

Obsolete. This function has been replaced by move_metasprite_ex()

move_metasprite_flipx()

uint8_t move_metasprite_flipx ( const metasprite_t *  metasprite, uint8_t  base_tile, uint8_t  base_prop, uint8_t  base_sprite, uint16_t  x, uint16_t  y  )

inline

Moves metasprite to the absolute position x and y, flipped by X (horizontally)

Parameters

metasprite	Pointer to the first struct of the metasprite (for the desired frame)
base_tile	Number of the first tile where the metasprite's tiles start
base_prop	Base sprite property flags (unused on this platform)
base_sprite	Number of the first hardware sprite to be used by the metasprite
x	Absolute x coordinate of the sprite
y	Absolute y coordinate of the sprite

Same as move_metasprite(), but with the metasprite flipped by X (horizontally).

Sets:

• __current_metasprite = metasprite;
• __current_base_tile = base_tile;

Note: Overwrites OAM sprite properties (such as palette), see Metasprites and sprite properties.

Returns

Number of hardware sprites used to draw this metasprite

move_metasprite()

move_metasprite_flipy()

uint8_t move_metasprite_flipy ( const metasprite_t *  metasprite, uint8_t  base_tile, uint8_t  base_prop, uint8_t  base_sprite, uint16_t  x, uint16_t  y  )

inline

Moves metasprite to the absolute position x and y, flipped by Y (vertically)

Parameters

metasprite	Pointer to the first struct of the metasprite (for the desired frame)
base_tile	Number of the first tile where the metasprite's tiles start
base_prop	Base sprite property flags (unused on this platform)
base_sprite	Number of the first hardware sprite to be used by the metasprite
x	Absolute x coordinate of the sprite
y	Absolute y coordinate of the sprite

Same as move_metasprite(), but with the metasprite flipped by Y (vertically).

Sets:

• __current_metasprite = metasprite;
• __current_base_tile = base_tile;

Note: Overwrites OAM sprite properties (such as palette), see Metasprites and sprite properties.

Returns

Number of hardware sprites used to draw this metasprite

move_metasprite()

move_metasprite_flipxy()

uint8_t move_metasprite_flipxy ( const metasprite_t *  metasprite, uint8_t  base_tile, uint8_t  base_prop, uint8_t  base_sprite, uint16_t  x, uint16_t  y  )

inline

Moves metasprite to the absolute position x and y, flipped by X and Y (horizontally and vertically)

Parameters

metasprite	Pointer to the first struct of the metasprite (for the desired frame)
base_tile	Number of the first tile where the metasprite's tiles start
base_prop	Base sprite property flags (unused on this platform)
base_sprite	Number of the first hardware sprite to be used by the metasprite
x	Absolute x coordinate of the sprite
y	Absolute y coordinate of the sprite

Same as move_metasprite(), but with the metasprite flipped by X and Y (horizontally and vertically).

Sets:

• __current_metasprite = metasprite;
• __current_base_tile = base_tile;

Note: Overwrites OAM sprite properties (such as palette), see Metasprites and sprite properties.

Returns

Number of hardware sprites used to draw this metasprite

move_metasprite()

hide_metasprite()

inline

Hides a metasprite from the screen

Parameters

metasprite	Pointer to first struct of the desired metasprite frame
base_sprite	Number of hardware sprite to start with

Sets:

• __current_metasprite = metasprite;
