help moving direct draw sprite with mouse
Author
what is the basic way (with out using classes) to select an sprite with the mouse and then click some were else on the map and have the image move there buy some kind of path finding?
use window proc to get the mouse position on click, and see if it is within a certiain bound for which ever sprite you want, then add one to a counter
then on the next click move the image to the mouse position and reset the counter
If nothings is selected:
Loop through them until you find one under the mouse, and make it the selected sprite:
sprite.x >= mouse.x && sprite.y >= mouse.x && sprite.x+sprite.w < mouse.x && sprite.y+sprite.h < mouse.y
Otherwise, generate a path from [selected_sprite.x, selected_sprite.y] to [mouse.x, mouse.y] and start it on it's journey. I'm not going to explain pathfinding. Google for "A* pathfinding" if you need somewhere to start.
