Ken's U.S. Flag version 4 - With moving clouds
« on: February 09, 2022, 12:47:16 am »
Tonight I was going over a list of my old apps I made and remembered that I made a U.S. flag. So I found one I made that is waving and has random hills in the background and decided to add the new moving clouds in the sky that Vince has been using. Just by chance the flag is moving the same direction as the clouds. :) Press the Space Bar to get different random hills. Feel free to mod mod mod. :D Thanks Vince and someone named rattrapmax6!

(Code deleted because of a memory leak, please get the one below instead.)

I just added the U.S. National Anthem to the background with the hills changing every second or so. It was easy because I had already made this before, just without the clouds. Make sure and download the attachment mp3 song and put it in the same folder as this program. The U.S. National Anthem is played by the United States Air Force. 
I want to thank B+ also for the help he originally gave me with the hills. And I think he also used these clouds too.

EDIT: Memory leak fixed and clouds fixed. Thanks B+, OldMoses, and everyone else!

That was clever @SierraKen! It's cool how you generate it all with line/paint and then store it to "wave" it later on.

I'm not seeing it my CPU is going back and forth but this might stop an uptick:
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. hills:
  2. 'Random Hills
  3. If hills& Then _FreeImage (hills&)  ' <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< insert
  4. hills& = _NewImage(_Width, _Height, 32)
  5. _Dest hills&
  6.

Wow I am so embarrassed. I don't know what happened last night to make the clouds not move. I'm guessing I left out some code and put the wrong code here, sorry about that everyone. B+, as always I want to thank you for fixing it. I would have had to start from where started yesterday. Also, thanks for telling me about the memory leak, you too OldMoses. I fixed it by adding a
IF hills&<>0 then _FREEIMAGE hills& right before it makes a new one. I'll post the update over the original ones above because I don't want anyone trying that.

Hey Ken, I could see you did have clouds working after I found what was preventing then from being shown. Not sure what you were thinking with the time thing?

The only time thing I can remember is the switching between different hills, using a TIMER. Maybe I put it in the wrong place. But I know it was working last night at some point.  lol

It was here drawing sky:
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1.     'Sky
  2.     ' ========================================= this code is blocking out the clouds
  3.     'hour$ = Left$(Time$, 2)
  4.     'hour = Val(hour$)
  5.     'If hour < 21 And hour >= 6 Then
  6.     '    Paint (2, 2), _RGB32(0, 205, 255)
  7.     'End If
  8.     ' ============================================================================
  9.  

I commented out the code and the moving clouds worked fine.

Wow OK, I see that also in an older version of the flag. What it was for is changing the sky to a blue daytime when it was daytime in the real world using the clock. Yeah it wouldn't work anyway with the clouds, thanks for pointing that out. The reason why it worked for me last night was because in the real world it was night time therefore it didn't change the sky color. LOL
