  • f
    would the level graphic, in the game, be a large image, or constructed with data?
  • w
    Hum good question
  • f
    and would you want the collision to be tile-based or line-based?
  • f
    for an example, fancy pants adventure is fully drawn and line-based
  • w
    Hum
  • w
    not sure 100%
  • w
    also how does the entity system works?
  • b
  • w
    I see
  • g
    Hopefully I get back to work with ceramic soon, I keep getting preoccupied with other languages and projects :(
  • c
    When ceramic compiles for desktop, does it use electron ?
  • a
    by desktop do you mean cpp?
  • b
    No, electron is only needed when running for web
  • b
    It is not needed either if you need to build for web and don't run the result via ceramic tools
  • c
    I mean whatever is used for desktop (MacOs, Windows) apps
  • a
    nah, it's native cpp export
  • a
    you can use electron if you want to
  • a
    not necessary tho
  • f
    Does Ceramic have any samples using SpriteSheet?
  • b
    Yes, the pixel platformer sample
  • b
    But it’s a spritesheet created from code
  • b
    You want to do that or load a spritesheet from a file? (Like aseprite file)
  • f
    i haven't worked with spritesheet makers in quite a while
  • f
    currently exploring my options
  • b
    Loading an aseprite file is the easiest, it’s supported by Ceramic
  • b
    Otherwise you’ll need to create the animations from code at runtime (like in the pixel platformer sample)
  • b
    A third option is to create a json file next to a png that describes the data, in the « aseprite json format » and rename it with the .sprite extension
  • b
    But then using aseprite directly is generally better
  • f
    ah so it works like haxeflixel
  • b
    Ceramic also has some optims when using aseprite files: it shares a single atlas for every loaded spritesheet with the same assets object https://twitter.com/jeremyfaivre/status/1635746124609748997
