Grade 11 Paint Program

[GeoBoy]

Here is my paint program I did for my grade 11 project. Make sure you read the comments if you need help understanding something.

Any helpful tips would be nice since this will be due soon.

Before running your program I noticed you had over 50 globals variables. I'd recommend having less than 1. There must be a way you can work around declaring a bunch of variables at the top of your program by maybe using parameters.

Note: I'll edit some more suggestions in when I feel like it.

Edit: I also found that you were updating the entire screen every frame. You only need to update the middle box and that side colour box. There is a procedure called View.UpdateArea which only updates a given area.

hmm i think some told me that View.UpdateArea is slower or something im gonna try it out and see.

Ok i tried to do view.updatearea but it seems i have an older version of turing and its not available in this version.

its like verion 4.04 or something ..

Yeah that's fine. Maybe you should work on keeping track of actions to allow more than one undo. I actually find it pretty cool that you had one.

Small suggestions for loading a picture. Make the default directory "C:/Doucments and Settings/"+Sys.GetUserName+"/My Documents/My Pictures/" and take off the adding of the ".bmp" so the user has to type that in. And add a :* after your get statment so it can read spaces

This is a sweet paint program!
