8. Game #7, Air Dogs 1942 > Time for action — first changes to the OnCreate met...
Inside the OnCreate method, we want to determine the canvas size and load the sprite sheet and the game font. This is done as follows:
- Set the virtual canvas size to
800by600pixels, as the background image is of the exact same size.Method OnCreate:Int() SetUpdateRate(60) eng = New engine eng.SetCanvasSize(800,600)
- Determine the canvas size and store the values in the fields we just created in the preceding section. You code set them with hard values, but this approach makes them more modular.
ch = eng.canvasHeight cw = eng.canvasWidth
- Now, load the sprite sheet and store the reference in the
atlasfield.atlas = LoadImage("ad_Tiles.png") - And lastly, load the bitmap font.
font1 = eng.LoadFont("ad_font") Return 0 End
