Question

我正在用C ++开发一个简单的基于精灵的2D游戏，它使用OpenGL进行硬件加速渲染，使用SDL进行窗口管理和用户输入处理。由于它是2D游戏，我只需要绘制四边形，但由于精灵的数量是动态的，我永远不能依赖于有恒定数量的四边形。因此，我需要每帧通过我的VBO重新缓冲所有顶点数据（因为可能有比最后一帧更多或更少的四边形，因此缓冲区可能是不同的大小）。

我到目前为止的原型程序创建了一个窗口，允许用户使用向上和向下箭头键在对角线中添加和删除四边形。现在我正在绘制的四边形是简单，无纹理的白色方块。这是我正在使用的代码（在OS X 10.6.8和Ubuntu 12.04下使用OpenGL 2.1编译和正常工作）：

目前我正在使用GL_TRIANGLE_STRIPS和glMultiDrawArrays（）来渲染我的四边形。这有效，而且在性能方面似乎相当不错，但我不得不怀疑将GL_TRIANGLES与IBO结合使用以避免重复顶点是一种更有效的渲染方式吗？我做了一些研究，有人建议索引GL_TRIANGLES通常优于GL_TRIANGLE_STRIPS，但他们似乎也假设四边形的数量保持不变，因此每帧不需要重新调整VBO和IBO的大小。这是我对索引GL_TRIANGLES最大的犹豫：如果我确实实现了索引GL_TRIANGLES，除了每帧重新调整整个VBO之外，我还要每帧重新缓冲整个索引缓冲区，这也是因为四边形的动态数量。

所以基本上，我的问题是：鉴于由于四边形的动态数量，我必须每帧将所有顶点数据重新缓冲到GPU，否则切换到索引的GL_TRIANGLES来绘制四边形会更有效率，或者我应该坚持目前的GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP实施？

Answer 1

使用未编入索引的GL_QUADS / GL_TRIANGLES和glDrawArrays()电话可能会很好。

SDL_Surface *screen; 
...
screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, 0, SDL_OPENGL);
...
SDL_FreeSurface(screen);

Don't do that：

返回的表面由SDL_Quit释放，不得由调用者释放。此规则还包括对SDL_SetVideoMode的连续调用（即调整大小或更改分辨率），因为现有曲面将自动释放。

只需顶点数组即可获得不错的性能。

理想情况下，您dt的大部分/全部应为＆lt; = 16毫秒。

使用GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP或索引GL_TRIANGLES绘制动态数量的四边形是否更有效
