how to tile a background texture

james23

Tried this as per the documentation but it doesn't work. Not sure if I'm using it correctly or there's something I'm not doing.

local background = Bitmap.new(Texture.new("bg.jpg", true, {wrap = Texture.REPEAT}))
stage:addChild(background)

This is how I do in my game in order to repeat the background image vertically:

local text = Texture.new("images/roadmap.png", false, {wrap = Texture.REPEAT})
local regi = TextureRegion.new(text, 0, 0, text:getWidth(), application:getDeviceHeight())

local rmap = Bitmap.new(regi)
self:addChild(rmap)

I think that by replacing the "text:getWidth()" with "application:getDeviceWidth()" you will be able to produce the effect you want. For larger resolutions apply the appropriate width/height.

@james23 yes and the other way would be:

local texture = Texture.new("images/crate.png", true, {wrap = Texture.REPEAT}) local shape = Shape.new() shape:setFillStyle(Shape.TEXTURE, texture) shape:moveTo(0,0) shape:lineTo(application:getDeviceWidth(), 0) shape:lineTo(application:getDeviceWidth(), application:getDeviceHeight()) shape:lineTo(0, application:getDeviceHeight()) shape:lineTo(0,0) shape:endPath() stage:addChild(shape)

In this case the texture should be in ^2 size like 64x64px or 128x128px, etc
