Homebrew Sprite GFX issue with NightFox Lib

Project68K · Jul 1, 2022

I am having trouble getting two sprites to show on screen. My goal is to attempt to get two square sprites to appear on screen.

Here is the error image:

Now, I have tried constantly to fix this, but to no avail. As far as I know, it should be working as I've assigned different Ram and VRAM GFXs, and different Ram and VRAM Pal IDs for each sprite.

I've made C++ classes for both objects. The code is shown here:

Player.h

C++:

#ifndef PLAYER_H

Any idea as to what could be causing this issue?

hard to say but it seems FoodObject should have better definition.. My doubts are when you try to set up some private vars inside a class so...
gfxid = gfxid;
palid = palid;
seems valid, so it doesn't show up any error but it doesnt changes anything either because it indicates the same var, so maybe it should be changed to:
this->gfxid = gfxid;
this->palid = palid;
or change it's name slightly like you did for other vars (in example "gfxID"). But maybe I'm wrong.

I have solved the issue. I had initially assumed that the RAM and VRAM GFX, and PAL were different for each instance of the sprite made. It turns out that for something like this, you really only need two ids for the RAM and VRAM GFX and PAL.

My problem now is deleting an instance of the sprite. When I do this, it gives the error :

your code is somewhat ineficient but whatever, the error says it all, sprite 1 on the top screen is not created, you may have created the object with another id, but because of your code, if you delete a sprite, it will regenerate it self, i would recomend set the obj position using NF_MoveSprite

sorry if this was too complicated but i am not the best at explaining things

You're right about MoveSprite. I guess what happened was that there were some things that didn't appear in the documentation that I wasn't aware of.

Also, could you explain more about the inefficiency? I am not a very experience programmer, and any tips are useful.

EDIT: Turns out it WAS in the API. I just didn't read it properly. My fault entirely.

I have changed my code so that it uses NF_MoveSprite to move the sprites, but it still gives the same error.

Code:

        for (size_t i = 0; i < objects.size(); i++)
        {
            NF_MoveSprite(0,objects[i].sprID,objects[i].x,objects[i].y += 4);

            if (((p1.x < objects[i].x + 16) && (p1.x + 16 > objects[i].x) &&
                (p1.y < objects[i].y + 16) && (p1.y + 16 > objects[i].y)) || (objects[i].y >= 192))
            {
                    NF_DeleteSprite(0,objects[i].sprID);
            }
           
        }

It seems you are trying to delete sprites but element of vector container is not earesed / deleted. So after deleting your program may try to move non existing sprites. Not sure what is created for, but If you like don't update list maybe you can use it in that way:

Code:

        for (size_t i = 0; i < objects.size(); i++)
        {
            if(objects[i].created)       
                    NF_MoveSprite(0,objects[i].sprID,objects[i].x,objects[i].y += 4);

            if (((p1.x < objects[i].x + 16) && (p1.x + 16 > objects[i].x) &&
                (p1.y < objects[i].y + 16) && (p1.y + 16 > objects[i].y)) || (objects[i].y >= 192))
            {
                    NF_DeleteSprite(0,objects[i].sprID);
                    objects[i].created = false;
            }
           
        }

also why not to keep objects in seperate files like you did at begining... It may really grow later.

OK, so I actually fixed everything now. You guys were right about deleting the item from the vector. What happened was that VSCode gave me an error when attempting to use vector.erase(), that I tried to do things without removing the item, but you can't always trust a compiler.

Later on in development, I'll probably replace the vector with std::list, since using vector.erase() is expensive.

plasturion · Jul 4, 2022

I see, you can still swap one element of vector that you plan to be deleted with the last one and then use pop_back. It should be same fast. Another way is consider to not delete them at all but place in unvisible area of srceen and set them as unactive. In example (-64 to 0 on y axis)

I have changed my code so that it uses NF_MoveSprite to move the sprites, but it still gives the same error.

oh yeah i forgot you have to use nf_createsprite first or else nf_movesprite won't work. ok so if the error is the same check the following things. About code eficiency, don't worry yet, is that i am more experienced and yeah (when i was getting started i also did worse code lol) and i usually talk to experienced people.

1. Make sure that you use the correct id, mainly if you use NF_CreateSprite with the id of 0 anything sprite-related will need that id.
2.Make sure that NF_DeleteSprite has the correct id of each object.
3. Make sure that NF_DeleteSprite is caled after NF_CreateSprite.

whatever i do not like nflib (i know something), and i don't understand your code so i can't say anthing about the fix. i guess i can't help you? i mean, when i explain something to someone they end up quitting the thing that they were trying to do (exept for the spanish series on how to make games for the wii but that is offtopic.)
