Module ggez::graphics::spritebatch [−] [src]

A SpriteBatch is a way to efficiently draw a large number of copies of the same image, or part of the same image. It's useful for implementing tiled maps, spritesheets, particles, and other such things.

Essentially this uses a technique called "instancing" to queue up a large amount of location/position data in a buffer, then feed it to the graphics card all in one go.

Structs

BoundSpriteBatch	A drawable combination of a `SpriteBatch` and a specific `Image`. It is not always convenient for a `SpriteBatch` to own the image it is drawing, so this structure lets you override the image with a borrowed one.
SpriteBatch	A `SpriteBatch` draws a number of copies of the same image, using a single draw call.
SpriteIdx	An index of a particular sprite in a `SpriteBatch`.
