G_DRAWRECT and negative coords

[PointOfLight]

It appears that as long as all 4 coordinates are negative, or at least one y coordinate is positive, then the visible part of the rectangle renders fine. However, if both of the Y coordinates are negative, and at least one X coordinate is positive, it renders a rectangle that is the whole height of the screen. I realize I'm not explaining myself very well, but if you run this example: http://www.csdatasol.net/Downloads/Strategy_Game.zip and hit the Shift key a few times I think you'll see what I mean.

Hi,

I will take a look tomorrow at your code. I can add extra code to the rectangle function not to accept negative values.

Actually, that would not solve the problem. Per Paul's thread on SetOriginX, not allowing the rectangle to have negative coords would cause problems. If both y coordinates are negative, it just shouldn't render the rectangle to the screen at all.

Hi POL,

It is now fixed, the g_drawrect had a special piece of code in there that checked to make sure you didn't go over the height of the screen. The PocketFrog library had a bug so I made sure it would not happen. I was checking against unsigned int (no negatives allowed) and this was the problem.
