HiddenChest RGSS Player Executable

Toggling a Bump for Fun!

In version 1.1.56 of your favorite local engine, you are now able to make custom toggle buttons or radio buttons or the like.

By creating a custom sprite class object you can assign it its active and inactive states and the selected button and it will automatically pick either the active or inactive state bitmap. Of course, you still need to setup the button state yoursefl.

You got to admit it is a highly convenient feature for it lets you forget about creating several sprites and then group them in a set only to get a single button sprite work as expected.

Don't worry, guys! You can change the graphics at any time!
Just make sure the button is slightly smaller than the button backdrop sprite.

Sadly, there are only *Ubuntu binary executables available right now.  

Here you can take a look at the test script I have been using while playing with HiddenChest.

Code:

module ButtonData
 TITLE = "Scene Settings"
 BACKDROP = 'recycle texture'
 ICONS = %w{toggle1 toggle2 toggle3}
 LABELS = ['Find Treasures', 'Kick Asses', 'Play Minigames',
           'Contract Covid-19', 'Hug Corona-chan']
end

class MenuScene
 def main
   @timer = 0
   @bg = Sprite.new
   @bg.bitmap = RPG::Cache.title(ButtonData::BACKDROP)
   @title = Sprite.new
   @title.set_xy(Graphics.width / 2 - 120, 8)
   @title.bitmap = bit = Bitmap.new(240, 32)
   bit.draw_text(0, 0, 240, 32, ButtonData::TITLE, 1)
   @buttons = []
   @labels = []
   @states = [true, false, true, false, true]
   total = ButtonData::LABELS.size
   total.times do |n|
     cy = 44 + n * 32
     sprite = ToggleButtonSprite.new
     sprite.set_xy(8, cy)
     sprite.bitmap_on = RPG::Cache.icon(ButtonData::ICONS[0])
     sprite.bitmap_off = RPG::Cache.icon(ButtonData::ICONS[1])
     sprite.button = RPG::Cache.icon(ButtonData::ICONS[2])
     sprite.state = @states[n]
     @buttons << sprite
     sprite = Sprite.new
     sprite.set_xy(36, cy)
     sprite.bitmap = bit = Bitmap.new(160, 28)
     bit.draw_text(0, 0, bit.width, bit.height, ButtonData::LABELS[n])
     @labels << sprite
   end
   Graphics.transition
   main_loop while $scene == self
   Graphics.freeze
   (@buttons + @labels).each{|b| b.dispose }
   @title.dispose
   @bg.dispose
   @states.clear
 end

 def main_loop
   Graphics.update
   Input.update
   update
 end

 def update
   return @timer -= 1 if @timer > 0
   if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
     Audio.play_cancel
     $scene = Scene_Title.new
     return
   elsif Input.trigger?(Input::C)
     Audio.play_ok
     @buttons[0].state = !@buttons[0].state
   elsif @buttons[0].mouse_above? and Input.left_click?
     Audio.play_ok
     @buttons[0].state = !@buttons[0].state
     @timer = Graphics.frame_rate / 3
   elsif Input.trigger?(Input::KeyP)
     Audio.play_ok
     Graphics.save_screenshot
   end
 end
end

Those Ubuntu or Kubuntu users or similar Linuxers break a leg!  

Perhaps I should say break a finger instead!?
