| How would I draw a box2d world bigger than the screen? I was thinking of adding 2 global integer variables camerax and cameray but then how would I offset the drawing commands? |
| ||
| I wanted the camera to track the player and I put offsets in the drawing code and it worked to a degree...the lines stayed in the same place but the rigid-bodies moved correctly. Also the screen jumps frames for some reason, I put the update code in dostep() maybe thats why. |

| So long as you aren't using debugdraw - is only really for... debugging. The "test" framework gives you an idea for handling update/draw etc, but it probably isn't what you want to use as a final implementation. I've been meaning to look into this same problem for a project of mine. It shouldn't be too difficult. Once you scale up your coordinates it should be relatively easy to centre your drawing around your main character. You can step-through all bodies for drawing, and if they are on-screen, draw them relative to your character. |

| yeah im using the 'test framework' how would i scale the co-ords? |

| couldn't you do this with viewports? Cheers Charlie |
