Turing Paint (thoughts, questions, ect)

[copthesaint]

Ok to download my paint program please goto: http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?p=178509#178509
I will require some help later but right now I would
just like some comments on the program it's self for the current file.

i will be brutally honest, it errored out the first 4 times I ran it, froze my comp when I closed it, so after rebooting i'm somewhat irritated. But on the plus side, the GUI was amazing, did you make it yourself? also the full color palette and all the tools was very well done

[andrew.]

It's pretty decent, but when I choose a colour, it goes all flickery. Also, when I do things like zoom, it opens the dialog for new and if I press cancel, it still creates a new picture. There are also a lot of random errors relating to streams. When I save or even press quit, I get errors. All in all, it's a pretty decent paint attempt and is better than most out there.

Now why you had Trouble Useing my program Might be maybe turing can't create folders or files on you computer?
But I'm not completly sure. Anyways Yea I Havn't had any problems with the 6 computer I've used this on Maybe you were just unlucky ;p.

Pencil Tool could do something like DrawLine(mxLast, myLast, mx, my) to fix the white space made when drawing quickly.

[copthesaint]

Umm that would be what the Line Tool is for...

[andrew.]

What he means is that instead of using Draw.Dot and have white space when you draw fast, use Draw.Line to make it draw a line so that there is no white space.

Examples are always nice:

Turing:

View.Set ("graphics:800,400,offscreenonly,nobuttonbar") var xm, ym, bm : int var cm, sm, tm : int Mouse.Where (cm, sm, tm) Draw.ThickLine (400, 0, 400, 400, 5, 7) loop     Mouse.Where (xm, ym, bm)     if xm >= 0 and xm <= 400 and ym >= 0 and ym <= 400 then         Draw.FillOval (xm, ym, 5, 5, 3)         Draw.ThickLine (xm + 400, ym, cm + 400, sm, 10, 3)     end if     cm := xm     sm := ym     delay (25)     View.Update     exit when hasch end loop

Yes I know it takes time but it's for more 'Fine' detal. Use paint tool if you want to draw faster.
Acually It is a Draw.ThickLine That I use, and I don't want that because you could move the pointer off the picture for a second and then bring it back on the picture and mess your picture up drawing, Besides that you should take your time. Good art takes time.
Btw I Am Still working on this and It will still be a little till I'm done. (Around 1-2 Weeks depending on how busy I am)

I have just updated My paint program. The help menu is now complete including other features like the mirror tool. Here is the url for the new upload : http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?p=178509#178509

*Update
Newer Version posted.

[Agner]

I liked the program but I found the toolbars and such to be fairly dark and difficult to read (might just be my screen)
Overall this was really kick ass

[copthesaint]

You should have gone to preferences, You can change The programs Background and make it lighter. That is why it may have seemed dark.

[Agner]

Ah thanks that fixed it!
