Thread: Setting up 2D game (VIEW)

i dont think so, hes drawing 2d instead of 3d, so why would he even need a near/far clipping plane?

oh and btw, heres the code i used to set the position of a sprite:

Code:

D3DMATRIX matPosition;
float fx, fy;

fx = (float)x - (m_nScreenWidth / 2);
fy = (float)y - ((m_nScreenHeight / 2) - m_nHeight); //m_nHeight is the height of the sprite

D3DXMatrixTranslation(&matPosition, fx, -fy, 0.0f);

and the negative thing is fine

edit [just incase you needed a bit more explaining for the code above]

x, y: coords of where you want to put the sprite
m_nscreenwidth, m_nscreenheight: self explanatory
