Hi all, the blog post for this week will be relatively short as I have been sick lately, however, I did fix a few things.<\/p>\n

Fixing texture rotation<\/h4>\n

At the start of the week, I tackled the problem of the missing texture rotation due to which tiles were incorrectly rendered as below.<\/p>\n

I tried fixing this using the rotoscale<\/code> function, however, that gave a weird “boxy” look to the rotated tiles. For example, in the following picture, it is particularly noticeable in the grass texture at the bottom left of the screen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was intriguing as this function was already being used by other engines such as WinterMute and they did not seem to have come across this problem. To dig deeper, I dumped the texture to a png file after rotation and – apparently the rotated texture had different dimensions(32×33) as compared to the original texture(32×32). I was, however, not able to fix this.<\/p>\n

FractureHill, the developer for the “Nancy Drew” engine confirmed that he had the same issue and ended up rolling his own implementation for rotating textures. So, I copied the relevant code, optimized it a bit, and voila – it worked perfectly! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

No more “boxy” look!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Miscellaneous other graphical fixes<\/h4>\n

There are some other small fixes that I made this week, most noticeably I fixed a bug due to which border tiles were missing from some scenes.<\/p>\n

That is all for this week. Next week I will focus on getting saves to work correctly. Please look forward to my future blog posts and thanks for reading! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
