Wow, that was a ton of great information and some killer source code! This gives us enough information to begin working on the dungeon levels! I don’t know about you, but after this long wait, it feels good to have reached this point. Now that we have a level editor and a working level renderer, we can begin working on gameplay. Although the tilemap is drawing, we aren’t using any of the extended data fields (such as Collidable), which is the topic of the next two chapters! Also, we have that really great Game class back in Chapter 3 that will be more useful than the clunky Timer,sowe’ll go to full-time use of the Game class and a while loop in the next chapter. Speaking of which, Chapter 8 is about adding objects to the dungeon and simulating lighting by hiding or showing things based on their distance from the player! Level Up! 175 This page intentionally left blank Adding Objects to the Dungeon In this chapter we will learn how to add objects to the game world in such a way that they will show up when the viewport scrolls. This will require some coding trickery that goes a bit beyond the usual fare that we’ve needed so far, so if your experience with the C# language is somewhat on the light side, you will want to pay close attention to the explanations here. We will go back to using the Game class that was first introduced back in Chapter 2, “Drawing Shapes and Bitmaps with GDI+,” which handles most of the “framework” code needed for a game that has been put on hold while building the level editor and testing out game levels. But now we can return to the Game class, as well as the Sprite class from Chapter 3, “Sprites and Real-Time Animation.” Here are the goods: n Adding scenery to the game world n A new game loop n Level class n Adding trees n Adding an animated character Chapter 8 177 Adding Objects to the Game World Our game level editor works great for creating tilemaps, and it has support for additional data fields and a collision property. But, there comes a point when you need more than just the tilemap data to make a real game—you need interactive objects in the game world as well. So, the first thing we’re going to learn in this chapter is how to add some scenery objects, using the tilemap scrolling code developed in the previous chapter. At the same time, we need to address performance. The scrolling code takes up 100% of the processor when the scroll buffer is being refilled continuously. Even if you move the scroll position one pixel, the entire buffer is rebuilt. That is consuming huge amounts of processor time! It might not even be noticeable on a typical multi-core system today, but a laptop user would definitely notice because that tends to use up the battery very quickly. In addition to adding scenery, we’ll work on a new core game loop that is more efficient. A New Game Loop If you open up the Sub-Tile Smooth Scroller project from the previous chapter, watch it run while looking at your processor’s performance in Task Manager. To open Task Manager, you can right-click the Windows toolbar and choose Start Task Manager, or you can press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to bring up the switch user screen to find Task Manager. Figure 8.1 shows Task Manager while the aforementioned demo is running. Note how one of the cores is pretty much maxed out while the others are idle—that’s because the program is running in just one thread, and it’s pushing the processor pretty hard for such a seemingly simple graphics demo. The reason for this processor abuse is the use of a timer for rendering. For reference, here is a cropped version of the timer1_tick() function from the previous chapter. private void timer1_tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { int steps = 4; if (keyState.up) { scrollPos.Y -= steps; if (scrollPos.Y < 0) scrollPos.Y = 0; 178 Chapter 8 n Adding Objects to the Dungeon } } The timer event began firing when the timer1 object was created via this code in Form1_Load: //create the timer timer1 = new Timer(); timer1.Interval = 20; timer1.Enabled = true; timer1.Tick += new EventHandler(timer1_tick); Figure 8.1 Observing processor utilization in Task Manager.
