aiv-fast2d ·

Hardware accelerated 2D library, used by the first year students of AIV ("Accademia Italiana Videogiochi")

It is the base for aiv-fast3d too, that adds support for 2.5d and 3d games.

Examples

Below a very basic usage example.

More examples are available in Example project.

// open a window and get a OpenGL context
Window window = new Window(1024, 576, "Title");

// open a window in full screen mode
Window window = new Window(1920, 1080, "Title", true);

// open a window in fullscreen mode with the current native resolution
Window window = new Window("Title");

// load a Texture in the graphics card
Texture texture = new Texture("path_to_image_file");

// create a mesh formed by two triangles and use it as a sprite
// the mesh returned is a 100x100 pixels quad
Sprite sprite = new Sprite(100, 100);

// move the sprite
sprite.position = new Vector2(x, y);
//rotate the sprite on the z axis (in degrees)
sprite.EulerRotation = 90;
// scale a sprite
sprite.scale = new Vector2(0.5f, 0.5f);

// draw a sprite/mesh with the specified texture
sprite.DrawTexture(texture);
// draw only a part of the the texture in the sprite/mesh
sprite.DrawTexture(texture, xOffset, yOffset, width, height);

Documentation

API documentation related to the last version of the library is published here.

Futhermore some in-depth guides are available for the following topics:

• Handling Joystick input.
• Creating Post-Processing effects.

Compliance

Library tested on:
