8 - ...And a Little Graphical Improvement
As the final touch to the program, we ned to redo the small X and O characters. Because the DrawImage() routine contains all of the original drawing code for these elements, we just replace it with a bitmap draw:
#include "x_and_o.cpp"
void paTicTacToe::DrawItem(int index)
{
// draw individual item here in proper place
int dx=52, dy=52, xPos=0; // assume 'o'
if ( 1==m_owner[index] ) // player 1 ('X')?
xPos=53; // 'x' image offset
else if ( 2!=m_owner[index] ) // not player 2?
return; // if not x or o, nothing to draw
// center image and draw it
RECT *rect=&m_rect[index];
int x=rect->x+(rect->width-dx)/2; // center it
int y=rect->y+(rect->height-dy)/2;
DrawImage(x,y,&g_gameTiles,0,0,xPos,0,52,52,IMG_CMB_SRC);
}
This also allows us to remove all the code
involving the m_gridFont variable previously used to draw
the X and O entries.
