Mimminito's Tutorial List

[Ted Hughes]

"Getting Started with Eclipse and andEngine" tutorial is excellent. Could not get this to work until I found your link to explain the googlecode repositories, Mercurial. Thank you

Hello i'm new to AndEngine.

I started with this basic tutorials. I set up my development enviroment and i succesfully built and run hello world project with AndEngine (blue screen app).

Now i moved to next tutorial about drawing sprites:
http://code.google.com/p/andengineexamp ... ample.java

It should be easy but for me it is not. I built it right. I run it on the phone and than when sprite should appear, i get message on my phone: The application DrawSprite (process com.example.DrawSprite)has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Debuger says everything is OK but phone and emulator dont. Please help me. What could be the problem?
I Loaded my image: human.png in to assets/gfx directory and everything.

I would be very very happy if anyone could help me

Thank you

That's not very helpful information for anyone to help you fix this problem. But, if you instead of clicking "Run DrawSprite" click "Debug DrawSprite", and it will run the program as much as it can, and then stop exactly where the error is. Eclipse will probably tell you what the error is in at least one of the views in the Debug perspective. Most likely a null pointer error of some kind. Your issue, I'm sure, is really simple, so you will find it using the debugger.

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

1.            
2. this.mTexture = new Texture(32, 32, TextureOptions.BILINEAR_PREMULTIPLYALPHA);
3. this.mFaceTextureRegion = TextureRegionFactory.createFromAsset(this.mTexture, this, "gfx/face_box.png", 0, 0);
4. this.mEngine.getTextureManager().loadTexture(this.mTexture);
5.  

Parsed in 0.030 seconds, using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

If you try to load your human.png and its bigger then 32*32 the texture size is your problem

Took me a while to figure out that a texture has to be made to move graphics to the ram, before they are put on the screen. Now it all makes more sense. I figured it out on my own eventually, I am not sure why it did not make any sense earlier. The two different sets of coordinates for animated sprites and so on really did not make much sense at first

Can anyone please make a beginner's guide for making your character jump?

If you are using Box2D, it should be a simple matter of setting its y velocity to a number.
