The final version of betaPAINTER ++

[Asian Brian]

I have finally finished my paint program couple weeks ago, but failed to post it. I wasn't originally going to post it but people have come up to me thinking that I handed in the old version of my paint program which could be found in this forum. For more information about this program, check out the User's Guide folder. So here it is... the final version...

Really nice program...
Good job....

Did you do it as a school project or for yourself???
how long did it take you??

Yes Yes
very nice program indeed

Personally, I find that doing something like drawing a star is really delayed. I move the mouse around a bit, and then a few seconds later the star follows the path of the mouse. I can only guess as to why this is, but I've found that adding a delay in the program (say, 10) eliminates this problem. Do you have a delay in your main loop, Asian Brian?

Yeah, i would work on what cervantes said, and you should also have the user input what they want their file to be called, and just add .bmp to the string value. And what you should do with that is have the choice of opening a file, rather than only being able to save one file and only be able to edit it in real paint. But other than that, gj.

I like.... I didn't find any delay w/ anything. Your 'fill' isn't really a fill though.

It was a school project... look at the users guide to see how long it took to write...

It doesn't lag on my computer... and no there is no delay command, i used View.Update instead.

Yeah, if i finished my other features a long time ago, i would have added the choice of loading, and saving with a changable name, but i kept rewriting my tools code and my mainline that i didn't feel the need to add those features that you would want.

The fill i used was borrowed from a friend. If you looked at my old version somewhere on the forum you will find that it used to be a simple drawfill command.
