I've just finished my current project and it's about to go into beta. So I'm a bit bored and I figured I'd try coding something up for fun. Turned out not to be a lot of fun so far though :(
The effect I'm after is the screen shatter effect that some of the Final Fantasy games do. Probably been seen on 1001 tv programs too. I was gonna render to a texture, but I didn't think it's gonna be precise enough. I've just found JFK's ( is that Norc's new nick? ) sprite code in the archives and that should enable me to line up sprites.. will have to see how accurate that turns out to be.
Has anyone done anything like this or have a suggestion on a better way of going about things? As it's a fade, I don't suppose it matters if I lose some frames as I'm copying things around to get started.
