There is something I am missing inhere so I hope you can share some light on me.
I am drawing some text inside canvas. For this I have a class Word
public class Word {
private int x;
private int y;
private String text;
}
The app allows the user to rotate the text, and I handle the rotation withing onDraw
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.save(Canvas.MATRIX_SAVE_FLAG);
canvas.rotate(angle, centerX, centerY)
...
canvas.drawText(word.getText(), word.getX(), word.getY())
....
canvas.restore();
}
The problem I get is when the user drags the canvas and there is a rotation set. When angle=0 the movement is going as expected.
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
initialX = (int) event.getX();
initialY = (int) event.getY();
break;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
int currentX = (int) event.getX();
int currentY = (int) event.getY();
int xMovement = currentX - initialX;
int yMovement = currentY - initialY;
dragWords(xMovement, yMovement);
.....
and on dragWords for each word I do:
private void dragText(int xMovement, int yMovement){
for (Word word : words) {
word.setX(word.getX() + xMovement);
word.setY(word.getY() + yMovement);
}
invalidate();
}
When rotation angle is 0, moving up/down/left/right makes the words move by the same distance. As angle gets bigger, the words start to move in different dirrections, for instance at 60, it is starting to go diagonally up, when 180 it only moves up/down and not left/right.
I think I need to calculate some sort of a difference based on angle and add it to xMovement/yMovement... but how should I do this ?
LE: Here is an image on how it behaves:
The blue lines is how the text is moving on drag while the orange is the finger dragging on the screen. When angle is 0 it works quite well, when angle increases, it starts to move diagonally on left/right, while when angle is even bigger, it only moves up and down and does not respond to left/right
If I understand correctly, the issue is that Canvas.rotate() does not only rotate the text direction, but rather the whole canvas. Therefore, the x-y coordinates of the words are also rotated from the specified pivot point.
In order to match the dragging movement, you can use a Matrix for this, more specifically the inverse matrix of the one you're using to rotate the canvas. It will be used to convert the x-y coordinates of the words to their original, pre-rotate locations.
For example, calculate this once, and update it whenever angle, centerX, or centerY changes.
// rotMatrix is the same operation applied on the canvas.
Matrix rotMatrix = new Matrix();
rotMatrix.postRotate(mAngle, centerX, centerY);
// Invert it to convert x, y to their transformed positions.
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
rotMatrix.invert(matrix);
Then, when drawing each word:
int wordX = ...
int wordY = ...
String text = ...
float[] coords = new float[] { wordX, wordY };
matrix.mapPoints(coords);
canvas.drawText(text, coords[0], coords[1], paint);
In the ellipses part in the following code:
dragWords(xMovement, yMovement);
..... <<<--------------------- I hope you are updating initialX and initialY
initialX = currentX;
initialY = currentY;
Otherwise, your x and y values will not correspond correctly with the amount of distance moved during the touch gesture.
As user matiash indicated, you should use Matrix#mapPoints(float[]) to transform your x and y values. Declare and initialize a Matrix:
Matrix correctionMatrix;
// Your view's constructor
public MyView() {
....
correctionMatrix = new Matrix();
}
Here's how your onDraw(Canvas) should look like:
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.save(Canvas.MATRIX_SAVE_FLAG);
canvas.rotate(angle, centerX, centerY);
...
// Neutralize the rotation
correctionMatrix.setRotate(-angle, centerX, centerY);
// Initialize a float array that holds the original coordinates
float[] src = {word.getX(), word.getY()};
// Load transformed values into `src` array
correctionMatrix.mapPoints(src);
// `src[0]` and `src[1]` hold the transformed `X` and `Y` coordinates
canvas.drawText(word.text, src[0], src[1], somePaint);
....
canvas.restore();
}
This should give you the desired results - movement in the X and Y axis irrespective of canvas rotation.
You can obviously move the call to setRotate(float, float, float) to a better place. You only need to call it once after changing the angle value.

Faced a problem while trying to handle clicking on a moving image.
I used InputAdapter.touchDown() to handle the click and created Sprite for the image. Then I set the borders through Sprite.setBounds(). Further, in fact, the problem: if the coordinates in setBounds() are unchanged - the click is handled correctly. But if you change them (position.x++, for example) - the object comes into motion, but clicks are not read.
I can’t understand where the reason.
I tried to make a alterable variable outside the method, but this also didn't bring any result.
I tried using batch.draw(img) instead of img.draw(batch) - the effect is the same.
I tried to relocate Gdx.input.setInputProcessor() to the render() method, after img.setBounds() - nothing changed.
I even compared the coordinates of the Img and the Bounds area online, in motion - they are the same, as it should be.
Img and handler in constructor:
img = new Sprite(new Texture(finSize));
centerX = Gdx.graphics.getWidth()/2-img.getWidth()/2;
centerY = Gdx.graphics.getHeight()/2-img.getHeight()/2;
startPosition = new Vector2(centerX, centerY);
Gdx.input.setInputProcessor(new InputAdapter(){
#Override
public boolean touchDown(int screenX, int screenY, int pointer, int button) {
if(img.getBoundingRectangle().contains(screenX, screenY))
System.out.println("Image Clicked");
return true;
}
});
Render:
public void render(SpriteBatch batch, float radius, float boost) {
speed+=boost;
nextX = radius * (float) Math.cos(speed); // Offset step X
nextY = radius * (float) Math.sin(speed); // Offset step Y
// Img is moving, but clicks is not handling
img.setBounds(startPosition.x+ nextX, startPosition.y + nextY, 100, 100);
// Handling clicks fine, but img is motionless
img.setBounds(startPosition.x, startPosition.y, 100, 100);
img.draw(batch);
// Checking coordinates - all's fine
System.out.println(img.getBoundingRectangle().getX());
System.out.println(startPosition.x + nextX);
System.out.println(img.getBoundingRectangle().getY());
System.out.println(startPosition.y + nextY);
}
So, I sequentially compared the XY coordinates of the image and the mouse click point and came to the conclusion that InputAdaper and Sprite consider Y differently - from above and from below. Therefore, X always coincided, and Y had a big difference in values.
As a result, I entered two corrected coordinates xPos \ yPos (Y subtracted from the total field height) for the center of the pic and in the touchDown() method, instead of comparing with BoundRectangle, simply compared the difference in the coordinates of the pic and the click modulo. If the result into the image size range - everything is ok.
Now clicks on the moving image works correctly.
public void render(SpriteBatch batch, float radius, float boost) {
speed+=boost; // rotational speed
nextX = radius * (float) Math.cos(speed); // Offset step X
nextY = radius * (float) Math.sin(speed); // Offset step Y
// set image size and position
img.setBounds(startPosition.x+nextX, startPosition.y+nextY, 100, 100);
img.draw(batch);
// Corrected coordinates of the image for InputAdapter coordinate system
xPos = img.getX()+img.getWidth()/2;
yPos = Gdx.graphics.getHeight()-img.getY()- img.getHeight()/2;
// Check the coincidence of the coordinates of the image area and the click point
Gdx.input.setInputProcessor(new InputAdapter(){
#Override
public boolean touchDown(int screenX, int screenY, int pointer, int button) {
if((Math.abs(xPos-screenX)<=img.getWidth()) && (Math.abs(yPos-screenY)<=img.getHeight()))
{System.out.println("Image Clicked");}
return true;
}
});
}
I am making a game in Android that requires a list of sprites to running from right to left so I try to flip the image using the code below.
It slows the game speed down so much, moves fast running to the right but slows down so much running to the left.
public void Draw(Canvas spriteBatch, int X, int Y, int imageIndex,int flip)
{
int drawY = (imageIndex / columns);
int drawX = imageIndex - drawY * columns;
int spriteX = drawX * spriteWidth;
int spriteY = drawY * spriteHeight;
Rect src = new Rect( spriteX, spriteY,spriteX + spriteWidth, spriteY + spriteHeight);
Rect dst = new Rect(X, Y, X + spriteWidth,Y + spriteHeight);
location.X = X;
location.Y = Y;
if(flip == 1)
{
//here image is flipped
spriteBatch.save();
spriteBatch.scale(-scaleX, scaleY, X, Y);
spriteBatch.drawBitmap(texture2D,src,dst, paint);
spriteBatch.restore();
//Use simple use this to flip image canvas.scale(-1, 1)
}
else if(flip == 0)
{
//draws sprite without flipping
spriteBatch.save();
spriteBatch.scale(scaleX, scaleY, X, Y);
spriteBatch.drawBitmap(texture2D,src,dst, paint);
spriteBatch.restore();
}
this.SetFrame(imageIndex);
}
I can flip using matrix but I can't draw a sprite using matrix.
Is there a way to draw sprite using matrix and would it make it faster?
matrix.reset();
matrix.setTranslate(location.X, location.Y);
matrix.setScale(-scaleX,scaleX);
matrix.postTranslate(location.X + texture2D.getWidth(), location.Y);
Or is there another way that is faster?
So I think that the matrix solution should will work perfectly the canvas object includes it's own built in matrix which if you manipulate will affect the output of all graphics after that point. So you just set the matrxi and then do the draw.
You're solution is okay but you're doing it wrong - rather do this part ONCE:
Create the left-ward facing sprite as you do at the beginning and then store it. Then EACH FRAME: Use this 'cached' copy of the inverted bitmap that you created.
A third solution (which I haven't tried but might work) is to manipulate the destination rectangle so that the left and right edges are swapped - the canvas docs say, "Draw the specified bitmap, scaling/translating automatically to fill the destination rectangle." - I suspect that this might include negative scaling to fit the space where the right edge is smaller than the left although the docs do not explicitly say so.
I want to know how to check collision between elements inside a group and other element of the games, in other word, I want to know how to draw a rectangle around elements of the group, cause so far every time I try, the rectangle is always in the wrong position, I tried using stageToLocalCoordinates but the result was always messed up (sometimes I get the rectangle in the correct position but when I move the group the rectangle seems to have a "mirror effect" {move in the opposite direction} )
Use ShapeRenderer..
Make a function in all of your elements of the group that is returning a Rectangle.
public Rectangle getBounds()
{
return new Rectangle(x,y,width,height);
}
Now in the class with your stage, before drawing your elements (actors) draw the rectangle.
shapeRenderer.setProjectionMatrix(stage.getCamera().combined);
shapeRenderer.begin(ShapeType.Filled);
shapeRenderer.setColor(Color.BLUE); // put any color you want
// for each actor of your stage do this
shapeRenderer.rect(actor.getBounds().x,actor.getBounds().y,actor.getBounds().width,actor.getBounds().height);
Edit:
To convert a rectangle to a polygon you can use this method made by me some time ago
public static float[] rectangleToVertices(float x, float y, float width,
float height) {
float[] result = new float[8];
result[0] = x;
result[1] = y;
result[2] = x + width;
result[3] = y;
result[4] = x + width;
result[5] = y + height;
result[6] = x;
result[7] = y + height;
return result;
}
And
Polygon poly=new Polygon(rectangleToVertices(.....));
Put your polygon in your gamescreen class.
In the render method set the polygon position..
I am writing a 2D program. On my paintComponent I created an arc.
public class Board extends Panel{
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g){
super.paintComponent(g);
Graphics2D graphics2d = (Graphics2D)g;
int x = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation().x;//set mouses current position
int y = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation().y;
graphics2d.setStroke(wideStroke);
graphics2d.draw(new Arc2D.Double(200, 200, 100, 100, ?, 180, Arc2D.OPEN));
}
}
In my main I am using a Thread to update the graph. The position of the ? is the starting angle. Every time I change this the arc will move in a circle like half a car wheel. Is it possible to get the arc movement to follow the mouse? e.g. ? = 270
How will I do this? (Sorry for my bad paint skills!)
So based on the information from Java 2d rotation in direction mouse point
We need two things. We need the anchor point (which would be the centre point of the arc) and the target point, which would be the mouse point.
Using a MouseMotionListener, its possible to monitor the mouse movements within the component
// Reference to the last known position of the mouse...
private Point mousePoint;
//....
addMouseMotionListener(new MouseAdapter() {
#Override
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
mousePoint = e.getPoint();
repaint();
}
});
Next we need to calculate the angle between these two points...
if (mousePoint != null) {
// This represents the anchor point, in this case,
// the centre of the component...
int x = width / 2;
int y = height / 2;
// This is the difference between the anchor point
// and the mouse. Its important that this is done
// within the local coordinate space of the component,
// this means either the MouseMotionListener needs to
// be registered to the component itself (preferably)
// or the mouse coordinates need to be converted into
// local coordinate space
int deltaX = mousePoint.x - x;
int deltaY = mousePoint.y - y;
// Calculate the angle...
// This is our "0" or start angle..
rotation = -Math.atan2(deltaX, deltaY);
rotation = Math.toDegrees(rotation) + 180;
}
From here, you would need to subtract 90 degrees, which would give your arcs start angle and then use an extent of 180 degrees.
In order to build a tic-tac-toe game for testing, I have following routine. But problem is that I am getting too many events for just one touch. I suspect isTouched() returns all of down, up, and move. Is there any way to just get up event?
UPDATE: Resolved the issue by employing justTouched() instead.
#Override
public void render() {
// we update the game state so things move.
updateGame();
// First we clear the screen
GL10 gl = Gdx.graphics.getGL10();
gl.glViewport(0, 0, width, height);
gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
// Next we update the camera and set the camera matrix
camera.update();
camera.apply(Gdx.gl10);
...
}
private void updateGame() {
// the delta time so we can do frame independant time based movement
float deltaTime = Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime();
// Has the user touched the screen? then position the paddle
if (Gdx.input.isTouched() && !isProcess) {
// get the touch coordinates and translate them
// to the game coordinate system.
isProcess=true;
int width = Gdx.graphics.getWidth();
int height = Gdx.graphics.getHeight();
int offx=-width/2;
int offy=-height/2;
float x = Gdx.input.getX();
float y = Gdx.input.getY();
float touchX = 480 * (x
/ (float) width - 0.5f);
float touchY = 320 * (0.5f - y
/ (float) height);
for(int i=0;i<3;i++) {
for(int j=0;j<3;j++)
{
if(touchX >= offx+i*width/3 && touchX < offx+(i+1)*width/3 &&
touchY >= offy+j*height/3 && touchY < offy+(j+1)*height/3)
{
if(isCurrentO)
data[i][j]=CellStatus.O;
else
data[i][j]=CellStatus.X;
isCurrentO=!isCurrentO;
break;
}
}
}
isProcess=false;
}
}
An alternative to using justTouched is to implement the InputProcessor interface, as it has a touchUp(x,y,pointer,button) which gives you greater control over the input. There are several classes that implement this or you can have your class implement it.
You can create a board for example (with hash map) and each object in your game wants to be clickable add itself to that board if an object was touched and was in board it will catch the event. If not it will not catch the event. So easy! :)
