PureBasic - Sprite

Overview

'Sprites' are well known from game players. These are small pictures, sometimes called 'brushes', which can be displayed at any position on a screen. The sprites can move over graphics using a transparent layer. Even better, PureBasic allows you to perform real-time effects like real shadow, alphablending, coloring, zoom, rotation all this in windowed or full screen mode !

After initializing the screen and sprite environment via InitSprite() you can start opening a full-size or windowed screen.

Windows: DirectX 9 is used for screen creation which your programs to use hardware acceleration if available. Two additional Subsystems are also available, depending of the needs: "OpenGL" and "DirectX11" which respectively leverage OpenGL and DirectX11 to handle screen creation.

Linux: OpenGL is used to manage the screen which allows to use hardware acceleration.

MacOS X: OpenGL is used to manage the screen which allows to use hardware acceleration.
