Graphics > Wanted: Deck of cards

#77873 - psycorpse - Mon Apr 03, 2006 7:34 pm

Since I am graphically challenged, I am asking anyone if they have sprites of a full deck of cards or if they could make them. I am also looking for dimensions of the cards to be no bigger than 16x32. Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Mike

at 16x32, are you hoping to show the whole card, or just a corner of it?

I was hoping for the whole card however I could rework the layout to work with a corner of the card. It isn't a big deal either way.

At 16x24, a layout like Lo-Vision cards would work.

You really do not need to be good with graphics to render a pack of cards. There are only four suits and 13 characters.

I ripped a set of cards from a japanese GBA game ages ago and modified them for Herg's Solitaire. He didn't end up using them, but I've kept the cards. I have made two sets from the ripped originals.

Originals (32x48)
Modified (24x32)
Modified (16x24)
Demo

If I use one of the images that was recently posted. Do I just convert the image as is or do I have to add some padding to the image (each card is 16x24)? 16x24 isn't available as a sprite size right? I am just a little confused with the different sizes I guess.

You can add padding, or you can use 2 sprites for one card (a 16x16 and an 8x16).

You shouldn't have to "pad" the image if you arrange your tiles appropriately so the data "pads" itself. Make a tall sprite with width 16 and height 32, then leave the last little bit of memory after the sprite blank.

I made these two years ago but they never ended up in a game... if you want to use them let me know...
