Im starting to do animation and stuff like that and want to make a sprite walk around on a background but am not sure how to set up the class. In Lamothes Tips of the windows game programming gurus he makes a very simple struct like. struct sprite { LPDIRECTDRAWSURFACE frame[3]; int x,y; int velocity; int currframe; int counter; }; But what if I want to make a sprite with more that 3 frames of animation. I also want to make the frames RECT to save on video mem so the rects just point to a template on a surface. Someone had told me to make something like RECT *frame; but how do I make 4 or 9 frames? And how would I make it so when the up arrow is pressed a certain animation is played and when the right arrow is pressed a different animation is played? Please Help OoMMMoO
