It's highly experimental, just me testing out surfaces when I got the idea and went and made it.(PS: Resolution is lower because my computer runs it a little slow as is… I'll up it on request.)
If anyone's wondering, I'm using this code for smooth mouse-based drawing:Create event:
lx = mouse_x;
ly = mouse_y;
...
draw_line(mouse_x, mouse_y, lx, ly);
lx = mouse_x;
ly = mouse_y;
...
Doing so allows it to go from my last mouse position (usually not too far away) to my current position, keeping it all nice and gap-free. The faster your computer and slower you draw, the more detailed the line can be.
Have fun O.oDownload
This is neat.
Also, F1 doesn't give me help, and when I close the app, it gives me an error code telling me it's trying to use non-existent surfaces.I'm not sure why you're getting that error. O.o
I'm sorry that F1 isn't helping you. XD Fixed now, updating in a second.Done XD
You know that you could use bezier-splines to make actual curves regardless of how fast you moved the mouse :D
Well if you wanna tell me how to add that, go for it. XD
Yay mathiness FORWARD! Lemme find my codestuff.
Hookay. Here we go. This is a REALLY quick and dirty fast tutorial on bezier splines/curves. If you don't know what they are, look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9zier_curveFor a SINGLE n-dimensional bezier curve of 4 points (Q0,Q1,Q2,Q3, where Q0 and Q3 are the endpoints, and Q1 and Q2 are the so-called handles, or influences), to get the position of point P along the curve at time T (where T is 0 <= T <= 1, with 0 being the start of the curve, and 1 being the end of the curve), you simply use this formula:P is equal to 1-T cubed times Q0, plus 3T times 1-T squared times Q1, plus 3T squared times 1-T times Q2, plus 3T times Q3. There is a little pattern to it, you see. Expanded into code, for dimension n, it is:P.n = (1-T) * (1-T) * (1-T) * Q0.n+ 3 * T * (1-T) * (1-T) * Q1.n+ 3 * T * T * (1-T) * Q2.n+ T * T * T * Q3.n;Where n is x, y, z, whatever coordinate you need.Joining multiple curves is easy. Assuming two curves made up of points Q0,Q1,Q2,Q3 and R0,R1,R2,R3 respectively, all you need to do is make R0 be equal to Q3, and make sure that the line between Q2 and R1 intersects Q3/R0.Thats splines!Now, turning this into drawing a contiguous line is a bit more work, but it is essentially using the mouse's position for the new endpoint, and using the mouse's vector (speed + direction) as a way of getting the handle or influence.wow.. that's awesome. i dunno how you could turn that into a complete game but you should. lol.
I'm thinking maybe use it to release a complete platformer, and let it have a level editor. But first, I need a better way of saving maps. XD
Oh, and there's ways to do collision detection with bezier curves, so there's that too :D
