Hi all, I want to draw a mirrored version of a sprite, using the Sprite.Draw method. How can I do this? I work with C# and Managed DirectX 9, searched the documentation and couldn't find a way to do it. Also, for different reasons I use the Sprite.Transform for positioning and rotating my sprites. Can the mirroring be performed with Sprite.Transform?

Try something like throwing a Matrix.Scaling(-1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f) in with your other transformations. A negative scale should mirror the sprite around that axis.

I don't know how it's done in MDX, but you can apply a negative scaling along the axis you want to mirror.
