OK.... here is the alpha release....its not much yet... but its useful-ish :S
well ok... here is what works :

You can undo everymove you make... ctrl+z
draw lines, ovals, boxes, text (some nice options for these)
{the make arc part of the oval tool is in testing stage still}
you can add comments to the previous action (draw line then add comment to it)
and when you save (ctrl+s) the file just saves as unnamed.t (saves the code)

please... any suggestions would be much appreciated.. tho many are already being taken into consideration Wink (lots to come Very Happy)
ok... well thats it for now.. soon the next version will be up Smile

[UPDATED]

Post subject: 
Thanks theres 17 bits in it for ya , so you get an even 200 , well thats if you still have 183 bits of course , well what ever you have il even it out to 200 Very Happy thanks for workin on this update
Author:  Delta [ Wed Jan 28, 2004 7:19 pm ]
Post subject: 
YAY! Bits... I love bits... tho I haven't really bought anything (lack of bits :S)... but ya.. thanks... I have been working on the quick colour panel so you don't need to go back and forth to the colour palette each time you want a new colour... it lets you load upto six colours (6 for outlines, 6 for filling, 6 for text, and 6 for the drop shadows)

I won't release it until I have the polygons done too... they keep giving me trouble Mad but hopefully soon they'll be ready Smile

Post subject: 
that's sounding awesome... i'd give bits but im in short supply and im saving to colourfy and effectify my name.
Author:  Tony [ Wed Jan 28, 2004 8:18 pm ]
Post subject: 
awesome app Very Happy

some sujestions for future releases:
Redo (Ctrl+Y) (in case you've gone too far back with undo)

and Advance Mode. What I mean by that is ability to view and (very important) edit the code directly on the side.

I think it would be a very cool addition cuz it's your entire history of drawing right there. You could go back to a certain box (if you can find it... but you could add helpers such as highlights of elements fitting search criteria) and change one of it's properties such as color. Or if you want to extend something... Everything will be a vector Wink

oh yeah, and now since v4.0.5 is out, you can use View.UpdateArea to get rid of flashing and perhaps even improve app's performance

Post subject: 
Thank You! Finally I get some really useful feed back (not that the rest of you are useless.. just less useful than Tony Smile ... no offense).. but ya.. thank you... I'll do the redo option for sure editing the code I will see how that goes :S ... I have a program that already allows movement of lines (stretching and whatnot), ovals, boxes... but everything gets really messy after the tips of the lines touch or the ovals are in the same spot.... then movements you don't want happening happen Sad ... but if I feel that will be uber useful... then I might just think about it... don't get your hopes up for anytime soon Sad :S

Thanks to all Smile
more feedback is always good Smile

okay, should make it less flashy cuz it makes me (and possibly other people) feel sick. there was something else i was thinking of but it slipped my mind

Pretty neat.

<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0"><tr><td><span class="genmed"><b>Moderated by octopi:</b></span></td></tr><tr><td><span class="genmed"><span class="a">have the +15 bits I stole from the kid who was saying he was gonna be an asshole to his schools computer admins</span></span></td></tr></table>

I'll steal some more bits and give them to you if you fix the drawing routines, so that it works better. (slow on my computer)
Author:  Delta [ Wed Jan 28, 2004 9:32 pm ]
Post subject: 
Flashy? what do you mean?... like the drawing?... I thought it wasn't that bad at all Confused hmmmm... thanks for the bits... you thief Wink as for the drawing thing... I'll try to make it work better... but I'm not sure if it'll have the same effect in the end Sad I'll try tho... till next time!

Update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hehe Smile
well ok... it has the polygon support (for shorthair) tho... I must inform you that each time you make a polygon... well... it makes two new variables... and after a while your code code be full of variables... if anyone has any ideas (catalyst prehaps) on how I could reuse the variables... and I don't just mean polyX(1) := 123, whatever (that takes up too many lines) well ya... other than that... I like it Smile (polygons are only lines right now.. I haven't made the fill yet... that'll come soon tho (just edit your code for now)... ummmm... o0o the quick colour chooser.. very useful (if your not sure about it (read the tool tips)

well yea... the update is on the first page Smile till next time once again Wink

that is probably the best paint program ive seen in turing. really cool stuff. its great how the lines automatically connect together on right mouse click for the polygons, though everyone is pretty flashy and hurts my eyes.
Author:  Tony [ Wed Jan 28, 2004 11:41 pm ]

well the whole idea of pic2code is to not worry about the code output as much as the picture itself.

so I think it's alright if you have
point_1_x:=whatever
point_2_y:=something else

just one reusable array.

here's a better idea though - drop the whole polygon thing. It doesn't work well. What you can replace it with is some preset forms. Such as Draw.Star and standart polygons such as hexagons and what not.

now here's what I think you should defenatly have. Export code to have the picture be relative to X/Y variables. It should be easy. Just set X/Y = 0 by default and have + point's position on screen.

The reason being is that most animations require users to move the pictures rether then just drawing a bunch of static frames. This way the picture elements will be ready to move around Wink

You could have a bunch of export options such as picking out names for X/Y variables or having them as premade functions such as

moveCar(x.y:int)

etc

lots of potential in the program, keep up the great work
Very Happy

how dare you have over 200 bits delta , my plan is ruined okay il give ya a nice 222

++ Cool Amount Of BITS
Author:  Delta [ Wed Jan 28, 2004 11:51 pm ]
Post subject: 
well I kinda want to keep the polygon idea... I'm gonna work at it more and try and make it better... the flashyness you guys are talking about doesn't happen on my end.... once I get back to school I'll try it there and prolly see what you guys are talking about :S... I have the [x,y] idea (easy movability of drawing) on my to do list thanks Smile... I didn't really want the drawstar and draw mapleleaf on there because I thought it was useless... but if enough people tell me to put it in there I will Smile ...
ok... so0o your thinking output the code ([x,y]idea) like so

code:

procedure userChosenName (x,y:int)
drawline (x, y, x+34, y+10, 1)
end userChosenName


^ Like the above? ^

cause thats partially what I got out of it
Author:  Tony [ Wed Jan 28, 2004 11:54 pm ]
Post subject: 
well technically it should be
code:

procedure userChosenName (x,y:int)
drawline (x+0, y+0, x+34, y+10, 1)
end userChosenName


but yes, that's the idea Very Happy

ok kewl... I'll work on it tomorrow... I think I'm gonna go get some sleep sooner or later
Author:  Delta [ Fri Jan 30, 2004 8:37 pm ]
Post subject: 
Ok... here is another update... no there are still no objects (procedures)
but you can add drop shadows to your text... oh and the quick colour chooser shows which colour you have selected... you can choose between fill and line for polygons and boxes now... and I'm sure I'm missing something... but yea.... ok... update is on the first page ... I'm off to work on the objects Smile more feedback is always welcome Wink

(I guess the flashing is drunk... because if I run the code then the program works fine... but the exe is crap :S Sad )

OMG OMG OMG !!!! THAT IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!
that is SO FRICKING HANDY!!!!@...... ahh.... i though it was a cool looking paint prog.... better then mine (i just made one and called it the greatest...) but... URS IS THE BEST!.... not only that.... u keep all the info... then make a .t file... that is AMAZING!!!!!... GREAT GREAT WORK!



now i can make more levels for my pac man... and this other program i was thinking without dealing with drawing from turing...


some issues...

i was unable to use selection.... u prob have that in ur known bugs.... but im too lazy to read...

also... ur screensize was a TAD to big...

having it 800x600 makes it use scroll bars...

788x540 is perfect fit......



ALL HAIL!!! Thy Best Paint Program

Hey Delta, I was just checking out your program and it looks great however I figured I better give you some feedback or you might come to Rm 213 and slap me across the head again.

1. It would kind of be kewl to be able to set the screen size of the area that you are drawing in so that it matches the screen size of the program you are using it in. I was making my intro font for my program in your program however since yours was based on 648 x 409 (not exact) when I go to put the font in my program which is at 1024 x 768 its way off. Now I could go in and edit the text coordinates my self but its just somthing to think about.

2. I had one instance where I created text in the program (two lines) and when I saved the code and ran it it had misplaced one of the "font := Font.New ("Comic Sans MS:20")" lines after the lines that needed to call it and gave me the error "variable has no value"

Other than that I havent noticed any other problems but Ill let you know if I do.
