picture& = _NEWIMAGE(640, 480, 32) near start of program

My code is right, need _putimage , picture&, 0

right after main loop starts over again.

Dang! not 5 mins of Browns Game, and another frickin 5 minutes of commercials!

Dang! touchdown on first play!

Update, didn't know you were using s& for screen handle, here is what I have hacked into your code:

Code: QB64: [Select]

Browns are doing poorly

Am sorry to say that I did everything you said, but no luck. After you press R and just move the mouse, it makes a bunch of lines wherever you move the mouse and the lines stay there.
When you press the mouse button, then it starts to work right, the animated line starts. The R key seems to work fine because you can still use that to make different lines in different locations. The only problem is that as soon as you start a new location, the line doesn't animate, it just makes a bunch of them.

I put this on line 11 before the welcome text:

Code: QB64: [Select]

picture& = _NEWIMAGE(640, 480, 32)    
 

I put this right after the _LIMIT 1000 and right before that is the start of the main DO loop:

Code: QB64: [Select]

  _PUTIMAGE , picture&, 0   
 

And here is the Ray code:

Code: QB64: [Select]

    'Here is the Ray Lines code.
    IF a$ = "r" OR a$ = "R" THEN
        rMode = 1 - rMode
        IF rMode THEN
            lastx = mouseX: lastY = mouseY 'set first lastx, lasty
            picture& = _NEWIMAGE(640, 480, 32)
        END IF
    END IF
    IF rMode THEN
        LINE (lastx, lastY)-(mouseX, mouseY), clr~&
        '_DISPLAY 'if you are using it
        IF mouseLeftButton = -1 THEN _PUTIMAGE , 0, picture&
    END IF
 

And if anyone is interested, here's all of the code:

Code: QB64: [Select]

'This program was finished on October 6, 2019.
'Technical Notes:
'This program uses around 55 MB RAM and 1% of the CPU on my semi-new computer.

Like I said in my update, I didn't know you were using s& for screen handle, so had to change up stuff for that plus ..

well it's working correctly (just the Ray stuff is all I changed and checked) in update in reply above.

OK White did need fixed:

Code: QB64: [Select]

IF bcolor$ = "w" OR bcolor$ = "W" THEN
    '_FULLSCREEN
    s& = _NEWIMAGE(640, 480, 32)
    picture& = _NEWIMAGE(640, 480, 32)
    SCREEN s&

BTW nothing else will draw but R mode until you set them up like Rmode.

AWESOME!!! Thanks B+!!! I got the lines down pact now. Now I will work on the rest. Also, I like how you commented out the FULLSCREEN, I like it as a window better too. Now I can add some things on the TITLE bar.

bplus · « **Reply #20 on:** October 07, 2019, 11:15:52 pm »

Good! sounds like you have it working. _DISPLAY just before the LOOP back around should stop the blinking.

Trouble is, once you start using display you have to _display everything you want seen until execution sees _DISPLAY again unless you switch it off with _AUTODISPLAY.

SierraKen · « **Reply #21 on:** October 08, 2019, 01:59:28 am »

Whew, I almost stayed up until midnight on this one, but I think I have finished it! I tried the _DISPLAY in a few different areas but couldn't get it right so I just left it out, there's no need for it.
Everything works just the way I want it I think. The funny thing is, it took me longer to re-make the welcome screens and _TITLE bar info than anything else tonight. When someone changes a Mode, the Title Bar says what mode it's in. It also says almost all the commands for people to easily use the program. The only things it doesn't say is Space Bar, Esc, and (I)nstructions but I have those explained in the welcome screens. I also re-arranged the welcome screens to look a lot better. Now people don't have to cherry pick through my endless text to find what they need. lol
Oh also, I did another printer test with it and it automatically changes a 640x480 picture to a full piece of paper just about, just so you know. Which is good in my opinion. It makes the pictures stand out.
So here it is!!! Almost 3 months in the making... Thanks again B+ for all the help. I'll put it on my website in a day or 2 most likely.

LOL like usual I spoke too soon. Working on the _TITLE stuff last night I put code the wrong locations. So I fixed it today and I also changed the size of the paint area to 800 x 600, which nowadays is the usual picture size for drawing. I also just ran another printer test and found out that the screen turns black after you print, so I fixed that. I made it so people can still draw on the same drawing after it prints on paper and the drawing is not lost.

Here is the fixed version:

Code: QB64: [Select]

'This program was finished on October 8, 2019.
'Technical Notes:
'This program uses around 55 MB RAM and 1% of the CPU on my semi-new computer.
'Use at your own risk. I hold no responsibility for any problems whatsoever.
'
'Thank you to B+ from the QB64.org forum for the color picker, the picture rotation code,
'the ray line making code, and general help in making this program.

Hi Ken,

I think if you use just use one variable for mode number, you can dump all the toggles, ie mode = 1 drawing, mode = 2 Rays mode = 3 Orbits... that way one variable tracks it all. When you change modes with keypress remember to initialize the lastX and lastY and of course the Title.

That's exactly what I did B+, m=1, m=2, m=3, m=4, and m=5 are all different modes. I did that so things don't get confused and also to say, ie. If m=4 and oMode=0 then... where I put a _TITLE with all the modes off. That's how I fixed it with the last update I posted earlier.

Paint Pixels 5 is now on my website and I consider it finished. I've tested it a lot and everything seems to work fine. Thank you again B+ for all your help. So unless someone finds a bad problem with it, I'm not going to work on it any time soon I think.

Here is my website with all 29 programs on it. There is a link to this program on the top of the list. I also added an example .bmp picture to show people what it can make. It's a 800 x 600 picture of a jet. I'm no artist but I think it's neat. :)

Thank you.

Had fun playing with this Ken - nice use of the alpha. Maybe version 6 will have a toolbar like paint?

Actually, come to think of it, with all the stuff QB64 can do with multiple pages, images, alpha, we could make a DANK photoshop clone. Well, "clone". You all know what I mean.

If anyone wants to frame this out, I can help with the parts that I'd be good at. I'm thinking curved gradients and stuff you want calculus for. But the rest is pure QB64 legwork. This can be that holy grail group project we've been wondering how to start. Any takers?

SierraKen · « **Reply #27 on:** October 08, 2019, 09:49:25 pm »

Thanks Static!
Wow that would be an amazing project. Feel free to use any of my code from Paint Pixels. But me being the lesser of the programmers in here, I would mostly just watch and test it for you guys. :))

Very interesting work. I'm interested in it. I did a bit of an ape after drawing in Windows, so far only a few things work, it has been a while since I wrote it. In the end I interrupted it, now I don't even know why...
