Detailed Description

template<SupportsTransparency PixelType>
class porytiles::Animation< PixelType >

A complete tileset animation with name, configuration, and frame data.

Animation represents a full animation definition for a tileset, combining:

A unique name identifying the animation (e.g., "flower", "water", "waterfall")
Configuration parameters (AnimParams) controlling timing and VRAM placement
An optional key frame (for Porytiles-format animations)
Frame data (map of AnimFrame) containing the actual tile pixels

In addition to the standard frames, there is a special "key frame" that appears in tiles.png. The GBA game engine uses the other frames (stored as separate .4bpp files) to animate by swapping tile data in VRAM at runtime.

The template parameter determines the pixel format:

Animation<Rgba32>: Used in PorytilesTilesetComponent (source format, RGBA pixels)
Animation<IndexPixel>: Used in PorymapTilesetComponent (compiled format, palette indices)

Template Parameters

PixelType The pixel type for animation frame tiles; must satisfy SupportsTransparency concept

Member Function Documentation

◆ composite_frame()

template<SupportsTransparency PixelType>

AnimFrame< PixelType > porytiles::Animation< PixelType >::composite_frame ( const PixelType & extrinsic_transparency ) const

inline

Returns the "composite" frame for this animation.

The "composite" frame for an Animation is a special, artificially constructed frame where each constituent subtile contains all colors across all AnimFrames (including the key frame, if present) for the given subtile index. This is essential: since animation tiles are dynamic but the palette index is fixed, the palette packer needs to know all possible colors that could appear in a given 8x8 animation tile region at any point in the animation. The composite frame's pixel arrangement is arbitrary and shouldn't be relied upon for meaningful information.

If a key frame is present, its tile count determines the composite frame size. Otherwise, the first regular frame's tile count is used. This allows animations without key frames to support manual animation linking workflows.

Parameters

extrinsic_transparency The extrinsic transparency color to use when filtering pixels

Precondition: has_key_frame() or has_frames() must return true

Postcondition: Each composite tile within the frame will have <= 15 unique colors.

Returns: A composite frame for this Animation.

Definition at line 220 of file animation.hpp.

◆ frame_count()

template<SupportsTransparency PixelType>

std::size_t porytiles::Animation< PixelType >::frame_count ( ) const

inline

Returns the number of frames in this animation.

Returns: The frame count

Definition at line 164 of file animation.hpp.

◆ frame_for_name()

template<SupportsTransparency PixelType>

const AnimFrame< PixelType > & porytiles::Animation< PixelType >::frame_for_name ( const std::string & frame_name ) const

inline

Returns the frame with the specified name.

Parameters

frame_name The frame name

Precondition: index must be less than frame_count()

Returns: Reference to the frame at the specified index

Definition at line 181 of file animation.hpp.

template<SupportsTransparency PixelType>

const std::map< std::string, AnimFrame< PixelType > > & porytiles::Animation< PixelType >::frames ( ) const

◆ frames_values()

template<SupportsTransparency PixelType>

std::vector< AnimFrame< PixelType > > porytiles::Animation< PixelType >::frames_values ( ) const

Definition at line 144 of file animation.hpp.

◆ has_frame()

template<SupportsTransparency PixelType>

bool porytiles::Animation< PixelType >::has_frame ( const std::string & frame_name )

inline

Definition at line 169 of file animation.hpp.

◆ has_frames()

template<SupportsTransparency PixelType>

bool porytiles::Animation< PixelType >::has_frames ( ) const

inline

Checks if this animation has any frames.

Returns: True if the animation has at least one frame, false otherwise

Definition at line 154 of file animation.hpp.

◆ has_key_frame()

template<SupportsTransparency PixelType>

bool porytiles::Animation< PixelType >::has_key_frame ( ) const

inline

Checks if this animation has a key frame set.

Returns: True if the key frame has been set, false otherwise

Definition at line 106 of file animation.hpp.

◆ key_frame() [1/2]

template<SupportsTransparency PixelType>

const AnimFrame< PixelType > & porytiles::Animation< PixelType >::key_frame ( ) const

inline

Returns the key frame of this animation.

The key frame is a special frame of the animation and is the frame whose tiles are stored in tiles.png. All other frames are stored as separate .4bpp files and loaded dynamically by the game engine.

Precondition: has_key_frame() must return true

Returns: Reference to the keyframe

◆ params() [2/2]

template<SupportsTransparency PixelType>

void porytiles::Animation< PixelType >::params ( AnimParams params )

inline

Definition at line 96 of file animation.hpp.

◆ put_frame()

template<SupportsTransparency PixelType>

void porytiles::Animation< PixelType >::put_frame	(	const std::string &	name,
		AnimFrame< PixelType >	frame
	)

inline

Adds a frame to this Animation frame map.

Parameters

name	The frame name
frame	The frame to add
