| Title: 2D Scrolling demo
| Code Submitted By:
- msw
| | Works for Topdown and Sidescrolling games. Demo features multiple controlable players that users can switch between. Ability to turn gravity on/off. Camera automaticly follows the selected player around. Coded for BlitzPlus but I think it should work as is for Blitz3D. |

| Title: 2D Sim City roads (Auto connecting road system)
| Code Submitted By:
- nebula
| When editing your map you can have the problem where you need to constantly select tiles and place them. This system reads the map and automatically places the correct tile.
I first noticed this system in that old game Sim City. Where you build your road and it would magically connect to other roads nearby. This example does just that.
This example can be used for multiple purposes. Lets say for Coast tiles and other tiles that need to connect to one and another. |

| Title: Best of the Best, Repeated use Flat-Shaded Triangle
| Code Submitted By:
- guybrushniveek
| The FASTEST(until proven otherwise) Flat-Shaded Triangle drawer.
(I am making a faster one as we speak, should ust about draw BIG triangles at about double the speed.)
NOTE : I am talking about lots of Triangles being drawn, and not just one or two...
I know using RECT for scanlines will draw 1 or 2 triangles faster than this, but try and run through a thousand triangles. Ah-ha. |

| Title: Coloured TEXT with OUTLINE
| Code Submitted By:
- da_hobo_hen
| This function displays your text, in the current drawing colour, then writes it (in your current font), with a 1 pixel thick black background.
I found this code usefull, and hope you do too.
Just call txt(xpos,ypos,txt$,centeredx,centeredy)
xpos is x posisiton (pixels)
ypos is y position (pixels)
txt$ is the text
centeredx is TRUE/FALSE/1/0 - to center horrizontally
centeredy is TRUE/FALSE/1/0 - to center verticallay |

| Title: Controlled animations using the 'millisecs' command.
| Code Submitted By:
- grim_1_2_3
| This simple piece of animation code will allow you to run you're animations at the same speed on ANY computer, No matter how fast. It is a better method than using the 'waittimer' command to control the FPS.
Note: You Must use you're own images.
Fully commented! |

| Title: Create Rotation Frames
| Code Submitted By:
- ghost dancer
| Basically a nifty little function which you use instead of LoadImage or LoadAnimImage. Specify how much you want to rotate the image by and how many times to rotate it - it will then create a new image object with all the new rotation frames.
For example, I've used this in my Galactus game. There is only one sprite for each ship - the function creates the rotation frames for me when the game is loaded :) |

It just goes up and down, and when you click the mouse button(which can be changed to fit your programming needs), the power level is recorded and you can proceed with the game. |

| Title: Realtime scaling
| Code Submitted By:
- nullmind
| This is (i belive) the fastest way to draw a scaled image in realtime. It doesnt use any pixel commands.
Tested this on my 900mhz 256MB Geforce2MX (PCI). It can draw a 128x128 image resized to 640x480 in 9ms, ever loop without any pre-rendering or caching.
It does now use a scratch image created in the main game loop :) To save from creating a new image and freeing it everytime. |

| Title: Replaying user input using a collection of Types
| Code Submitted By:
- matt_sephton
| 23/24 June 2002, version 0.10, tracks user controlled element
26/27 June 2002, version 0.20, tracks multiple computer controlled elements
to do: enable early quit of replay to go back to game
*** feel free to use this method as long as you give me credit
this method can be used to replay user input. this simple demo records the player control of a dot. we choose to do the correct branch of the main loop (moving or drawing) depending on if we are recording (game) or replaying (watching). this could be extended to keep track of multiple items, such as computer/AI controlled characters.

| Title: Res-changing code -- Can be added to any program easily
| Code Submitted By:
- grim_1_2_3
| This piece of code basically allows you to change between resolutions easily, at any time during the program. More resolutions can be added by simply adding a few lines of code. Right now it has 3: 640 by 480, 800 by 600, and 1024 by 768. Fully commented.
Note: You must use you're own images, Since none are included with the code.
Also, Please don't be put off by all of the text in the code -- Most of it is comments, LOL -- I guess I over-did it a little :) I wanted it to be easy for everyone to understand though. Anyway -- If you delete the commented lines, You will find that the code is a LOT smaller.

| Title: Showing walking animations various views when directions change using the arrow keys
| Code Submitted By:
- grim_1_2_3
| This is a sample animation program which will let you move an animated character around the screen,While the different views of the character are being animated -- Sorry, you have to use you're own animations!
Replace the backgound image with one of you're own, and replace the movanim animation with you're own to see how the program works :)
Note: I know this code is quite sloppy, And much longer than it should be, But I wrote it in a hurry just to test out some animations of my own a while back. Should still be usefull to someone :)

| Title: Super fast image rotation
| Code Submitted By:
- badjim
| These functions work a bit like the RotateImage command, but they are fast enough for realtime use. They rotate around the image handle and do not resize the image. They clip some of the image off so you may need a transparent border around the image to prevent vital parts being chopped off.
There are two versions. A two pass version that is fast but has really bad clipping at
90 degree angles, and a three pass version that is slower (but still pretty quick) but doesn't clip too much of the image off at any angle. |

most likely you wont be able to modify and still work unless you are a blitz guru.

if it dont work use:

| Title: perfect collisions!! (Best collision for stopping an object when it collides with another) *updated!!*
| Code Submitted By:
- grim_1_2_3
| The reason I say this is the best collision code for making an object stop next to the object being collidied with, Is simply because it works regardless of how many pixels at a time you are moving the object across the screen, And it STILL detects even 1 pixel!!! Anywayz, You will need to replace the 2 images in the code with you're own to see how it works. Change the variable for 'dspeed' to however fast(number of pixels) you want the object to move across the screen when you use the keys to move it.
Note: You can now use floats for the dspeed also :) |
