How do i blit a texture?

Sorry if this has been already asked but how do i blit a texture on screen?

ie: i have a 64x64 texture but i want to blit just the {0,0,32,32} rect of it.

Im looking for something like HTML5 canvas.drawImage() functions.

My idea is to make a tile map with it, ive seen some folks using Sprites for each tile but that doesnt seem too good performace wise.

Thanks buds!

C2 interfaces the javascript for you.

You can either use the sprite plugin to display an image (the sprite object uses a textures set to allow you to display animations or "store" still images in each frame) or the tiled background plugin that will repeat a single texture on all its visible surface/size.

I strongly suggest you to have a look through the beginner's guide and how to make a platform game which are two beginner's tutorials which fully display the method of work in C2, using the most used/useful built-in plugin to make a fully working game.

But that way ill have an sprite instance for each tile meaning that there will be a draw() call for each tile instead of a single one for the entire map.

Optimisation: don't waste your time.

You might also want to read how construct2 helps make HTML5 work, c2 vs javascript and c2's architecture for more insights on the engine.

Check the archived blog entries they give tons of details about the depths of C2.

But, if you're concerned with the insides of the engine, you might as well use directly an engine like impact.js in which you have control over the code.

I think he's just looking for an equivalent to "image offset" that tiled BG objects in CC had, which made them ideal for tilesets. Unfortunately C2 can't do that right now. Until then you're gonna have to use sprites.

Fersis - Construct 2 exports sprite sheets in the next build. I also could not measure any runtime performance difference at all, so I don't think performance is a good reason to want to do this.

Thanks for all the help folks.

Ashley can we expect this 'next build' this week?

It went out just now. :)
