The Sprite Candy FX Engine is provided as an external .bb file. Including the engine into your game is quite simple:
Graphics3D 640, 480, 0, 2
; INCLUDE SPRITE CANDY
Include "sprite candy.bb"
That's it -you're ready now to use all the Sprite Candy features and gimmicks in your game! If your sprite candy.bb is placed in a sub folder, adjust the include above.
Read the next chapters to learn how to create HUDs, layers, and individual objects, like texts and images. Here's a short sample code to show the general use of Sprite Candy:
Example:
; INCLUDE SPRITE CANDY
Include "sprite candy.bb"
; CREATE YOUR 3D STUFF AND CAMERA:
Cam% = CreateCamera ()
; ATTACH A HUD TO THIS CAMERA:
HUD1% = HUD_Create (Cam)
, LOAD A FONT RESOURCE AND CREATE A LAYER WITH IT
Font1% = HUD_LoadFont ("font.bmp","font.dat", 4)
Layer1% = HUD_CreateLayer (HUD1, Font1)
; CREATE SOME TEXTS ON THIS LAYER:
Text1% = HUD_CreateText (Layer1, 0,0, "SAMPLE TEXT", "LEFT", 0, "CENTER","BOTTOM")
Text2% = HUD_CreateText (Layer1, 0,0, "ANOTHER TEXT", "LEFT", 0, "CENTER","TOP+50")
