abstract class CPImage(origin: String) extends CPGameObject with CPAsset

Defines rectangular shape and its content as a collection of pixels.

Image is one of the key types in CosPlay. Almost everything that is drawn on the screen is represented by an image: FIGLet font string, sprites, video and animation frames, etc. Image itself is just a container for pixels. It can be created in-code or loaded and saved from and to the external file or resource. To render the image on the screen you can use CPCanvas.drawImage method.

Image is an asset. Just like other assets such as fonts, sounds, animations or videos they are not managed or governed by the CosPlay game engine unlike scenes and scene objects that are managed and governed by the game engine. Assets are typically created outside the game loop and managed by the developer, they can be freely shared between scenes or scene objects as any other standard Scala objects.

In-Code Images

One of the convenient features of CosPlay is that images can be created & painted (a.k.a. skinned) right in code with very minimal gestalt. The easiest way is to use CPArrayImage class that provides utility methods to convert a margin-based Scala string into an image. For example:

import org.cosplay.*
import org.cosplay.CPColor.*
import org.cosplay.CPArrayImage.*
import org.cosplay.CPPixel.*

object CPAlienImage extends CPArrayImage(
   prepSeq("""
       |    .  .
       |     \/
       |    (@@)
       | g/\_)(_/\e
       |g/\(=--=)/\e
       |    //\\
       |   _|  |_
     """),
   (ch, _, _) => ch&C_LIME
)

Another example with more sophisticated skinning:

import org.cosplay.*
import org.cosplay.CPColor.*
import org.cosplay.CPArrayImage.*
import org.cosplay.CPPixel.*

object CPAmigaImage extends CPArrayImage(
   prepSeq("""
     |  .---------.
     |  |.-------.|
     |  ||>run#xx||
     |  ||xxxxxxx||
     |  |"-------'|
     |.-^---------^-.
     ||x---~xxxAMiGA|
     |"-------------'
   """),
   (ch, _, _) => ch match
       case ' ' => XRAY
       case c @ ('A' | 'M' | 'i' | 'G') => CPPixel(c, C_NAVY, C_WHITE)
       case c @ ('r' | 'u' | 'n' | '#') => c&C_GREEN_YELLOW
       case 'x' => CPPixel(' ', C_BLACK)
       case '>' => '>'&C_GREEN_YELLOW
       case '~' => '~'&C_ORANGE_RED
       case c => c&C_WHITE
)

Loading Images

You can load images from the external source like URL or file path in one of the following formats:

  • *.xp REXPaint XP format. This is a native binary format supported by REXPaint ASCII editor. This format supports full color information.
  • *.csv REXPaint CSV format. This format is natively exported by REXPaint ASCII editor and also supported by CosPlay to save an image with. This format supports full color information.
  • *.txt format. Image in this format is a simple *.txt file and it does not provide or store any color information.

Use one of the following methods from the companion object to load the image from file path, resources folder or URL:

  • load()
  • loadRexCsv()
  • loadRexXp()
  • loadTxt()

For example:

val speckImg = CPImage.load(
   "prefab/images/speck.xp",
   (px, _, _) => px.withBg(None) // Make background transparent.
)

Saving Images

You can save image to the local file path in the following format:

  • *.csv REXPaint CSV format. This format is natively exported by REXPaint ASCII editor and also supported by CosPlay to save an image with. This format supports full color information.
  • *.xp REXPaint XP format. This is a native format used by REXPaint ASCII editor and can be loaded by the REXPaint.This format supports full color information.
  • *.txt Text format. This format does not retain color inforation.

Use the following methods to save the image to the file path:

ASCII Art Online

There's a vast collection of existing ASCII art imagery online. Here's some of the main resources where you can find it:

Prefabs

CosPlay comes with a list of prefab image, animations and video clips. All of them are shipped with CosPlay and can be found in org.cosplay.prefabs package and its sub-packages.

ASCII Art Editors

REXPaint ASCII editor is an excellent free editor for ASCII art from the creator of the Cogmind game. REXPaint editor is highly recommended for images with non-trivial coloring.

Attributes

origin

The origin of the image like file path or URL.

See CPImageCarouselExample class for the example of using images.

Inherited methods

override def equals(obj: Any): Boolean

Compares the receiver object (this) with the argument object (that) for equivalence.

Compares the receiver object (this) with the argument object (that) for equivalence.

Any implementation of this method should be an equivalence relation:

  • It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.
  • It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
  • It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type Any if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is usually necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects which are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same scala.Int. (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

Attributes

that

the object to compare against this object for equality.

Returns:

true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.
