Polygon primitive

[RealMayo]

Hi Rodrigo,
I finally had a chance to play with your PolygonExample and it is awesome!
But I have a problem... when I copy that example code into my own project, the image does not repeat inside the TexturedPolygon. Instead the image stretches to fit the TexturedPolygon Do you have any idea why this is happening?

Ok this is weird, now I changed the vertex values to make a slightly different shape, and now the repeating texture works

Good to know it is working. Let me know if you encounter any bugs.

Hi Guys,

This looks excellent - it looks like it can handle convex and concave polygons - is that the case?

What do you do about matching bodies to the polygons? I'm still stuck trying to convert non convex polys to create bodies..

Do you think this will make it into the main branch (soon?) I've modified my andengine a bit but would like to try this out...

[RealMayo]

Hi OzLark,
Yes this is amazing but it only makes sprites. Its up to you to match them up with bodies. Nevertheless it allows you to make repeating texture concave and convex sprites which is awesome!
If you want to make a concave polygon body, then you should create several fixtures attached to a body. Then attach this repeating texture concave sprite to that multi-fixture concave body.

Another advantage to using recastrodiaz branch of GLES2 is then you get to use Box2dDebugDraw

I'm already using debug draw (geeee that's saved me some time!!!) (thanks!!)..

Perhaps I should give this branch a go..... I really could use textured polys..... hmmmmm.

I'm trying to merge the recastrodiaz polygon additions into my code base but I can't see how to get around the circular dependency between Andengine and the Box2D extension..

Any hints?

[OzLark]

Ok, I got recastrodiaz's changes merged in (thanks recastrodiaz) and it works perfectly! This makes making a lot of things a lot more simple.

I had to copy the box2d library (jar file) to the andengine project to avoid a project circular dependency - how is it meant to be done?

[RealMayo]

Yes the circular dependency sucks. Its just how recastrodiaz decided to implement it. The way I accommodated it was by looking at all the import errors and then copy/paste the (3) necessary individual java files from within the box2dExtension to the AndengineExtension.

[recastrodiaz]

Concerning the circular dependency, I believe I simply added the Box2D extension to AndEngine's classpath :

<classpathentry kind="src" path="/AndEnginePhysicsBox2DExtension"/>

I didn't had to copy any java or jar files.

[RealMayo]

Innocent question... Wouldn't it be better to implement it as an Andengine Extension?
