Painter's algorithm applied to a 2D space scene.
This can be implemented without much issue in a 2D game. Each sprite object can
have an integral draw order value, in addition to any other information such as im-
age file data and the sprite's x and y positions:
class
Sprite
ImageFile
image
int
drawOrder
int
x
,
y
function
Draw()
// Draw the image at the correct (x,y)
...
end
end
