Remnants on movement and picture off-screening

[jeremydouglass]

Call it a png file – MSPaint can save different kinds of files, and different versions of paint have different default file formats, so that is ambiguous, like “house pet” (so dog? cat?).

@FlyingApple

is there any better way to clear the remnants left behind by the old copy of the character except just redrawing over it.

Clearing with background and redrawing is usually the best way.

@FlyingApple

but the excess 200x200 go off the screen so the character (rectangle) can move and reveal more of the image?

Yes. Use translate(). See recent discussions:

• Make the camera follow an object - #6 by jeremydouglass

• [Processing 3] Moving through a map bigger than the screen - #4 by jeremydouglass

One important thing – don’t draw your character and background onto one image! Draw your character on one image, draw your background on another, import them both.
