Question

hi I have 5 sprites with same spritesheat. The position of each sprite on the frame must be determined by a text file i have to read into my program using StreamReader. The text file is as follows: 0-160 160-300 320-250 480-320 640-200 This is each the x and y position where the image must start to move from. Can someone help me how to read the text into my program and use it as the x and y off each sprite? please

Try this using System.IO; Point [] pts = new Point [5]; public void loadPoints() { int count = 0; using ( StreamReader sr = new StreamReader ( pts.txt )) { string line; while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null ) { string [] str = line.Split( '' ); // split into 2 strings pts[count].X = Convert .ToInt32(str[0]); pts[count].Y = Convert .ToInt32(str[1]); count++; // increment by 1 } } }
