This is from day 6 of the flappy bird recreation tutorial -http://www.kilobolt.com/day-6-adding-graphics---welcome-to-the-necropolis.html
Here is the image file i am using for texture in my game. It is a 256px x 64px .png file.
Here is the class that I used for loading the texture and the specific TextureRegion(part of the texure) that I want the SpriteBatch to draw.
public class AssetLoader {
public static Texture texture;
public static TextureRegion bg;
public static void load() {
texture = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("data/texture.png"));
bg = new TextureRegion(texture, 0, 0, 136, 43);
}
}
And I call AssertLoader.load(), along with setting up game screen from
public class MyGdxGame extends Game{
@Override
public void create() {
AssetLoader.load();
setScreen(new GameScreen());
}
}
And inside GameScreen.java
public class GameScreen implements Screen {
//delegate render task
private GameRenderer renderer;
public GameScreen() {
float screenHeight = Gdx.graphics.getHeight();
float screenWidth = Gdx.graphics.getWidth();
float gameWidth = 136;
float gameHeight = screenHeight / (screenWidth / gameWidth);
renderer = new GameRenderer((int)gameHeight);
}
}
And inside GameRederer, the class I delegate to render the game
public class GameRenderer {
private int gameHeight;
private SpriteBatch batch;
private OrthographicCamera cam;
public GameRenderer(int gameHeight) {
this.gameHeight = gameHeight;
cam = new OrthographicCamera();
batch = new SpriteBatch();
batch.setProjectionMatrix(cam.combined);
cam.setToOrtho(true, 136, gameHeight);
}
public void render() {
Gdx.gl.glClearColor(0, 0, 0, 1);
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
batch.begin();
batch.disableBlending();
batch.draw(AssetLoader.bg, 0, (gameHeight/2) + 23, 136, 43);
batch.end()
}
}
What I get when I run the desktop version of the game is the black screen shown above(black because i set the background to black with these lines of code
Gdx.gl.glClearColor(0, 0, 0, 1);
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
Does anyone know why the SpritchBatch drawing isn't showing up? I extracted the texture portion of the texture I wanted with this line of code(starts from 0,0, width of 136, height of 43) - used GIMP - to find out portion to cut.
bg = new TextureRegion(texture, 0, 0, 136, 43);
I also put a few log statements(removed them from view) to ensure that before drawing, bg's width and height were set correctly, which they were. And the issue can't be game height because I used a print statement and found that to be 204 which means that this expression, (gameHeight/2) + 23 will evaluate to 125 which is in bounds between 0 and game height.
I checked out other threads as well. My issue can't be libgdx spritebatch not rendering textures because the SpriteBatch should overwrite the background. And it can't be LibGDX: Android SpriteBatch not drawing because i am running mine on desktop, not andorid.
