Types

Animation

Animations are created from an Animation Script. Each animation tracks the current frame for one animation sequence. You update this animation and draw with it. This allows you to have the one script being used to create lots of individual animations, where each animation is potentially at a different frame.

Animation Script

Animations in SplashKit are controlled by an animation script. This script tells SplashKit how long to play each frame, which cell in the bitmap the frame relates to, and which is the next frame. You load these scripts from file and can then use them to create animations that are used with the drawing options when you draw a bitmap.

Bitmap

Bitmaps represent image resources in SplashKit. You can load these from file, download them from the internet, or create and draw them yourself. Once created or loaded, you can draw the bitmap and you can draw onto the bitmap.

Circle

Field	Type	Description
center	`Point 2d`	The center point of the circle
radius	`Double`	The radius of the circle

Circles have a center point and a radius. This means that, unlike shapes like the Rectangle, the circle extends out both left and right, and up and down from the point you position it at.

Color

Field	Type	Description
r	`Float`	The red component of the color (between 0 and 1.0)
g	`Float`	The green component of the color (between 0 and 1.0)
b	`Float`	The blue component of the color (between 0 and 1.0)
a	`Float`	The alpha component of the color (between 0 and 1.0)

Colors can be used when drawing shapes and clearing surfaces. Color in splashkit does include a alpha value used for opacity, which allows you to have partially transparent colors.

Display

Each display value represents a physical display attached to the computer. You can use this to query the displays position and size.

Drawing Dest

Constant	Description
DRAW_TO_SCREEN	means camera has no affect.
DRAW_TO_WORLD	means camera has an affect.
DRAW_DEFAULT	means camera has an affect only if drawn to awindow.

Constant	Description
DrawingDest.DrawToScreen	means camera has no affect.
DrawingDest.DrawToWorld	means camera has an affect.
DrawingDest.DrawDefault	means camera has an affect only if drawn to awindow.

Constant	Description
drawing_dest.draw_to_screen	means camera has no affect.
drawing_dest.draw_to_world	means camera has an affect.
drawing_dest.draw_default	means camera has an affect only if drawn to awindow.

Constant	Description
DrawingDest.DrawToScreen	means camera has no affect.
DrawingDest.DrawToWorld	means camera has an affect.
DrawingDest.DrawDefault	means camera has an affect only if drawn to awindow.

Determines the effect of the camera on a drawing operation.

Drawing Options

Field	Type	Description
dest	`Void`	The destination of the drawing: a window or bitmap.
scale_x	`Float`	How much x values are scaled.
scale_y	`Float`	How much y values are scaled.
angle	`Float`	A rotation angle for bitmap drawing.
anchor_offset_x	`Float`	The x location of the anchor point around whichbitmap drawing will rotate.
anchor_offset_y	`Float`	The y location of the anchor point around whichbitmap drawing will rotate.
flip_x	`Boolean`	Should bitmaps be flipped horizontally
flip_y	`Boolean`	Should bitmaps be flipped vertically
is_part	`Boolean`	Indicates that part of a bitmap should be drawn
part	`Rectangle`	The area of the bitmap to draw
draw_cell	`Integer`	Which cell of a bitmap to draw, or -1 for all. Overridesparts and animation settings.
camera	`Drawing Dest`	How the current window camera affects the drawing
line_width	`Integer`	How wide are lines (only lines at this stage)
anim	`Animation`	The animation to use, which overrides the partoption

Drawing options allow you to customise drawing options. These should be initialised using the drawing option functions such as option_defaults.

Font

Fonts are used to draw text in SplashKit. These can be loaded from file or downloaded from the internet. Once you have a font you can use the draw text procedures to use that font when drawing.

Font Style

Constant	Description
NORMAL_FONT	Normal font.
BOLD_FONT	Bold font.
ITALIC_FONT	Italic font.
UNDERLINE_FONT	Underlined font.

Constant	Description
FontStyle.NormalFont	Normal font.

Use font styles to set the style of a font. Setting the style is time consuming, so create alternative font variables for each different style you want to work with. Note that these values can be logical ORed together to combine styles, e.g. BoldFont or ItalicFont = both bold and italic.

Raspberry Pi GPIO Board Pin Descriptions:

Point 2d

Field	Type	Description
x	`Double`	The distance from the left side of the bitmap or window (increasing as you go to the right)
y	`Double`	The distance from the top of a bitmap or window (increasingas you go down).

A Point2D represents an location in Cartesian coordinates (x,y). The x value represents the distance from the left edge of the window or bitmap, increasing in value as you travel right. The y value represents the distance from the top edge of the window or bitmap, and increases as you travel down toward the bottom.

Point2D is a great way to keep track of the location of something in a 2D space like a Window or Bitmap.

Pull Up Down

Constant	Description
PUD_OFF	No pull-up or pull-down resistor.
PUD_DOWN	Enable pull-down resistor.
PUD_UP	Enable pull-up resistor.

Constant	Description
PullUpDown.PudOff	No pull-up or pull-down resistor.
PullUpDown.PudDown	Enable pull-down resistor.
PullUpDown.PudUp	Enable pull-up resistor.

Constant	Description
pull_up_down.pud_off	No pull-up or pull-down resistor.
pull_up_down.pud_down	Enable pull-down resistor.
pull_up_down.pud_up	Enable pull-up resistor.

Constant	Description
PullUpDown.PudOff	No pull-up or pull-down resistor.
PullUpDown.PudDown	Enable pull-down resistor.
PullUpDown.PudUp	Enable pull-up resistor.

GPIO Pull-up/Pull-down Configurations:

Quad

Field	Type	Description
points	`Point 2d`	The array of points: top left, top right, bottom left,bottom right

Quads (quadrilaterals) are shapes with 4 sides, but unlike Rectangle, these shapes can have axis that do not line up with screen/bitmap axis.

Points should be constructed with the top left as the first point, top right as the second, bottom left as the third, and bottom right as the last point. Other orders may give unexpected outcomes.

Rectangle

Field	Type	Description
x	`Double`	The distance to the left edge of the rectangle
y	`Double`	The distance to the top edge of the rectangle
width	`Double`	The width of the rectangle
height	`Double`	The height of the rectangle

Rectangles are simple rectangle shapes that exist at a point and have a set width and height. This means that the rectangle always has edges that follow the sides of the Window or Bitmap (so they are aligned with the x and y axes). The rectangle’s position is its top left corner - it then extends to the right and down from this position.

Triangle

Field	Type	Description
points	`Point 2d`	The points of the triangle

A triangle consists of three points, being the three points of the triangle.

Vector 2d

Field	Type	Description
x	`Double`	The distance to move horizontally
y	`Double`	The distance to move vertically

Vectors represent a direction and distance, and can be visualised as an arrow from one point to another in 2 dimensional space. Internally, the Vector 2d is stored as its x and y components.

Vector is a great way to represent movement or forces. You could use a Vector 2d to track how much a character moves each update (as the vector stores the direction and distance). Similarly, you could use a Vector 2d to represent gravity or other forces. You can then add a number of force vectors together to get a final force to be applied to a character.
