I am trying to draw sprites on the screen in order of their Y coordinate. For instance, drawing an object with y=20 before another object with y=50. That way the latter object will appear as to be drawn over top of the object with a y coord of 20. The way I have it now is something like this: for(int x=0;x<10;x++){ DrawObject(object[x]); // draws 10 objects } How could I get it so that it draws the objects in order of the y coord. If the y coord is less than other objects y coord, draw it first... etc. I was trying to figure this out for a while, and couldn''t produce correct results. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You need to sort your object array before you sended them to the Rederor, somthing like

for y = 0 to numberObjects
for x = 0 to numberObjects

if ObjectArray(y).y > ObjectArray(x).y then
if ObjectArray(y+1).y < ObjectArray(x).y then
Shift ObjectArray,Y,1 ''Move evrything up one Spot
''make room for the new eliment
Add ObjectArray(x) to ObjectArray(y)
end if
end if

next x
next y

this is off the top of my Head

you will need to add more code to that but thats a Bubel sort (i think)
hehe
hope that helps

oo yea umm when all thats done then you can just render them in the arder thay are in the Array (e.g. ObjectArray(0) to ObjectArray(UperLimit)
