Sprite overlay

[angor]

I have been playing with the LUA example "05 - Sprite.lua" and realized that the sprite overlay is controled by the order you draw them on screen. Then, if you want to allow sprites to move in front and behind (i.e. "player" can move and be in front of behind a "tree") you require some extra variables to know how deep they are placed

Is there no other way to control which sprite is on top of which? Something like adding to the sprite a layer parameter value and then just drawing them without paying attention to the order.

Sorry, this is not available in 0.4.  I will add a priority function to sprite object in 0.5.

Please, can you explain how to use this priority functionnality ?

Thanks, Franck569.

Sorry, it turns out that the fix did not go into 0.5.  The current behavior is still what angor described.  The top/bottom order of sprites are still determined by the order the sprites are created (until you've created/deleted more than 128 sprites).  I will fix it in a future release.
