I would think if you need something to happen after a set time from something else you would want to track times and compare them against a constantly ticking clock from the engine.

What is drawScene_plane_two(); doing?

Forgive my criticism, but your code looks out of whack. You are calling methods from a method which should only be doing one thing, and that's drawing. You should create functions and evaluating parameters in your functions to execute the parameters or sprites you need set/drawn.

well drawScene_plane_two() is drawing the enemy plane. according to post #1 I am using the drawScene() function properly. thanks sheepings

Sorry I just read the whole topic now. Modi might be right about 3 posts back. You may need to rejig some of your logic. Incidentally seems you may be drawing over

Might I ask, what engine you are using? I have made 2 games myself in the past, its troublesome work, but keep plugging away at it.

I am using opengl and c++ I have also made pong and breakout using opengl and c++ I believe my problem is that I am drawing over the collision sprite too soon. thanks sheepings

[pbivens85]

hey sheepings are you good at opengl? can you look at post #1 and #19? I believe I am very close to solving this problem.

[modi123_1]

Post #19 is not your most recent code.

You have also not addressed the straight forward issue of your two sprites drawing on top of each other at the same time by what I said in post 16.

[pbivens85]

ok modi123 according to post #16 what functions should I use to get the ticks of the clock.

[modi123_1]

What have you looked into, looked up, or tried?

[pbivens85]

well I have found that clock_t c = clock(); might be useful to me.

[pbivens85]

is clock_t c = clock(); function good for a solution to post #16?

[modi123_1]

What have you researched about it? What have you tried doing to integrate that?

[pbivens85]

I have stubbed out some code with the clock function, I am working on integrating it in my code.

[modi123_1]

Being you are using OpenGL I would have thought that would have been the starting place, but so it goes.

[pbivens85]

well modi123 can you give me a hint on how to use the clock_t start_time = clock(); function into integrating this function into my game.
