 | 2D Images & Textures |  |
While we live in a world of 3D graphics - 2D is still very important - for example drawing 2d lines and 2d textures using the screen coords. #
Well I thought I'd throw together a simple function which shows you how to use the BasicEffect and the default Texture vertex so you can draw textures to the screen.
I find it can be a very useful tool, either if you want to write a splash screen or just see whats in some textures for debuggings.
In the source code below the whole example is in a single function, which when called with a texture2d will draw the texture to screen. Just pass in the full screen with and height to fill the full screen.
I didn't spent to much time on this, so just grabbed a quick test image...one of a gremlin and then added it to the project and drawed it in the top left corner... as you can see from the screenshot on the right.
Once you see how it works you can optimise it by making some of the variables members of a class, instead of constructing them each time.

Won't be long before your modifying the code to draw sprites, splash screens..loading screens, fades...etc etc...
