Pixel Shader Question

Well, it still didn't work with the shader, but your suggestion did put me on to something that worked...

When I was using SetBlending, I was NOT clearing the screen each time. If I do SetBlending to 255, clear the screen, then SetBlending to the fade value, then plot my image, it works as expected.

I can't say I quite understand why that is, but it is working, so I'll understand later

I'd still like to know what was wrong with my pixel shader though... It seems pretty straight-forward. By the way, I did try resetting to the default shader and then clearing the screen, then doing my custom blitting, but that didn't make any difference either.

Thanks again Pam!

Just outta curiosity, who won the wrestling match?

Thanks for the question and answers guys, I learned something myself.

I won. Well, technically Pam won, but I'm taking credit for it

Seriously though, she did find the solution, posted above, it did work in the end.

I can also report that, after all the effort, I got better results by simply using the blending setting. I'm not sure why the shader didn't give as good a results (not even sure what was different, but you can tell watching it), and other parts of the project are more important, so I'll figure it out some other time.

I would however suggest that if anyone needs to do fade effects, blending is probably the easier and better way to do it (Pam can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think blending is just a function of the default shader anyway?).

The game I'm working on will be out in March, you can see where I used it then (it's pretty obvious and right at the start).

fzammetti´s game is going to invade our pocket pcs pretty soon!

Some other game made by someone may infestate our pocket pcs soon too
