Some tips for Turing graphic artists

-----------------------------------

When working with graphics, i know setting the y+x's of every item is extreamly boring and requires alot of time, so when your coding involves grahics put this code at the top of ur pgrm so u can simply put the mouse an the screen at the desired location of the object.

var x, y, button : int
process display
    loop       
        locate (1, 1)
        Mouse.Where (x, y, button)
        put x, "|", y, "|"       
    end loop
end display
fork display

this runs as ur graphics are running and shows you the coord's of the mouse. Just something, to make using grapics easier. 

Another simple thing to make finding the right colour easier.

setscreen ("graphics:500;9000")
for col : 1 .. 256
    %colour (col)
    colourback (col)
    put "colour \"", col, "\""
end for


Hope this little tip helps.

Just a heads up, you'll likely be flamed shortly for suggesting the use of processes.

Hey that colour one's pretty cool (I'm amused by small things).  I'm a little unsure why you needed the process for the first one though, juss put it after you draw everything  :?
