GFX3 is a Sprite Stacking library for the CE C Toolchain. GFX3 allows you to effortlessly manage stacked sprites without the haste of over-coding.

GFX3 is designed to make it easy to create and manipulate stacked sprites in your application. With the library, you can stack multiple sprites on top of each other, adjust their position, scale, and rotation, and even make them transparent. This can help you create more complex and dynamic graphics in your application, without having to manually manipulate each sprite individually.

• Copy the /gfx3 folder into your project's /src directory.
• In your project's main.c file, include the GFX3 header file:
  • #include "gfx3/gfx3.h"
  • This will allow you to use GFX3 functions in your code.
• To create a stacked sprite, start by defining a gfx3_object_t struct:
  • Replace the layers array with your own array of gfx_sprite_t* pointers. You can add as many layers as you need to create the desired effect.
    • NOTE: Rendering will take longer the more sprites there are per layer.

gfx_sprite_t *layers[/*size + 1*/] = {/* Sprites */, NULL}; // make sure to include NULL at the end of the array
struct gfx3_object_t my_object;
gfx3_SetObjectSprites(my_object, layers);

• To render the sprite to the screen, use the gfx3_Object function:
  • gfx3_Object(&my_object, x, y);
  • Replace x and y with the desired screen coordinates to position the sprite.

For more detailed examples and tutorials, see the /examples directory in the GFX3 repository.

• Easy to use API for creating and manipulating stacked sprites.

• Support for stacking multiple sprites on top of each other, with adjustable z-ordering.

• Ability to adjust the position, scale, and rotation of individual sprites.

• Transparency support for individual sprites, allowing for more complex graphics.

• Simple syntax for rendering stacked sprites to the screen.
