About shaders. For most game developers, shaders are this scary monster that presents itself with such a complexity that it seems out of reach. In reality, shaders are quite simple by default and just get more complex the more you add to them. Our sprite is 32x32 pixels in size, and it must be drawn at some position.
I’m just learning how a shader works. So, I just copied from the built-in sprite effect file to mine. Edit: mySprite.effect contents: // Copyright (c) 2017-2020 Xiamen Yaji Software Co., But, everything stopped working as intended. o.r = o.g = o.b = gray; #endif #endif o *= color; ALPHA_TEST(o); return o; } }%
With the right tools, you can turn simple sprites into stunning displays of art and movement. Other Specialized 2D Tools Pyxel Edit For games that use retro pixel art, Pyxel Edit is a must-have tool. TexturePacker Optimizing sprite sheets is important for better performance, especially on mobile devices.
Most of my time working in cocos has been devoted to shader work. Currently, my client engineer has 5 cards being dealt and each card sprite pulls from a random card image on an atlas. I would like to put the image of the card’s back as the default sprite frame. So, I am trying to create a card flip effect.
Sorry to litter up the forums with a question like this but I couldn’t find anything about it anywhere online… So… I have made some shaders that use time to essentially animate themselves. Whenever I attach them to a material, and then a sprite in the engine, I can see them moving in the editor as expected.
This beta includes a few big changes which may interest a lot of users: Animated sprites, both 2D and 3D, now support options for more precise timing of individual frames ( GH-65609 ). GUI: Fix inconsistent state of Controls when editing and running scenes ( GH-70882 ). get_root() ). GUI: Fix errors when TabBar is empty ( GH-70611 ).
Editor: Expose ScriptEditor::edit to scripting ( GH-55709 ). Import: Fix texture atlas generation when source sprite is larger than generated atlas ( GH-55094 ). Particles: Fix for double use of seed in random shader variables ( GH-55607 ). Rendering: GLES3: Fix incompatible addition in auto exposure shader ( GH-55983 ).
We’re not really doing anything with shaders or post processing in the tutorial, so depending on where you want to take the tutorial later, its really up to you which you choose. The first thing to download will be the sprites and textures from the original tutorial. Download Icon.svg and replace the original file with it.
Visual shader editor. Unsupported features will not be visible when editing materials. Some shader features will not work and throw an error when used (which is to be expected when using an older OpenGL version). Unsupported features will not be visible when editing environments. Key editing in inspector.

Please test it on Windows (any version) to confirm that editing a project from the project manager, and running a project from the editor, both work fine.
