Polygon primitive

[RealMayo]

No problem,
I'm excited to try it out this weekend!
Thanks

Rodrigo, you're awesome. I've had trouble updating the points of the polygon... but I've temporarily gotten around that by re-creating the textured poly every time it needs to change. That's a rather slow method though, so am I missing something about updating the polygon? I get an "array index out of bounds" error inside of the TexturedPolygon Update(x[],y[]) method even if I pass the same number of points... But it's good so far. I got an image centered using high-level code and it's clamped by default if you don't use a repeating texture so I'm more than happy. Take a look:

I've just pushed an experimental "uvmesh" branch that adds support for textured polygons. Feel free to test it.



@IFL what do you understand by "not warped nor repeated texture".

Sheesh, I spend 4 days recovering from a HDD failure and get back to EXACTLY what I was trying to achieve. 1000 thank you's for doing this, it was the only thing I couldn't get going to move on with my project. It looks perfect in my game world, now I can get my artist to build some tile textures for my terrain.

The problem is that you can't control de number of vertices the triangulation algorithm computes. If the polygon needs more triangles it will need more space to save the additional data. That's why I added a sizeRatio parameter to the constructors (not quite usable in the last Polygon version ). You could pass a sizeRatio > 1 to allocate a larger vertex list and avoid the array index out of bounds exception.

PS : your AELightRays looks good

I'm glad it is already useful for some of you

I've worked on getting it to update the polygon with your guidance (sizeRatio>1), but I've had little luck. Thank you for the work that you've put into this so far.

Thanks - it was just a humble test that wouldn't have even been possible without your code.

I have a working GLES2 implementation and an example using it in my github forks :
https://github.com/recastrodiaz/AndEngine
https://github.com/recastrodiaz/AndEngi ... ample.java
It is not fully tested and it lacks some features, but does render convex and non convex polygons.
Let me know what you think and what features you might need. Any help is welcome.

Hi,

I'm trying to test your class, but I can't compile it.
I have two problems:

- First: my andengine extension (cloned) don't have "org.andengine...." package, instead I have "org.anddev.andengine...", so I have to rename the imports.

- Second: This imports (see below) are not recognized, as they are missing on the andengine extension. I have only Line, Rectangle and BaseRectangle.

import org.andengine.entity.primitive.Ellipse;
import org.andengine.entity.primitive.PolyLine;
import org.andengine.entity.primitive.Polygon;

I have the same error with other "polygon" sample I found here on the forum.

What I'm doing wrong?

Also, when I try to clone this repository "https://github.com/nicolasgramlich/AndEngine.git" I receive an error: " HTTP Error 406: Not Acceptable".

I'm starting working with AndEngine and Eclipse, so I'm lost.

Thanks in advance!

Hi gst,
It sounds like you might be using AnEngine GLES1. If so then remove everything from Eclipse and then follow my tutorial for AndEngine GLES2.
Finally you will need to replace AmdEngine itself with recasrodiaz version of AndEngine.

Thanks for your answer.
But I continue with some problems. When I try to clone this repository "https://github.com/nicolasgramlich/AndEngine.git" I receive an error: " HTTP Error 406: Not Acceptable".

I'm using the Mercurial clone option "Clone Existing Mercurial Reposotory".
As I see in your video, you use a Git.

You can NOT use Mercurial with "https://github.com/nicolasgramlich/AndEngine.git"
Please follow my GLES2 tutorial...
