Chalk Board
« Thread started on: Apr 23rd, 2017, 8:23pm » |

Just thought I would share this with you all.
My son wanted to draw some pictures on the laptop, but when I showed I'm MS Paint he was completely bemused and asked for something simpler. Rather than look up some app I decided to make one.
It works far more intuitively with a touch screen but feel free to use it if you have small kids.
The second icon up on the right was going to be used to save/load pictures but it turned out it was more fun if the pictures could not be saved.

Happy playing

It's always possible, but not necessarily how you first thought. Chin up and try again.

Very nice.
How about some rubber banding - not sure how you'd implement it without a keyboard, possibly a double click?

Sorry Ken, unfortunately the project has finished as my son was really happy with it. The next bit is down to you

Hi Ric,
Fun program, but the code has a small mistake at the end of PROCsetupleft
Code:
which causes a small system window to open and close very rapidly when the program starts or a new canvas is created.
Also, is there a reason for the code relating to the creation of the DIB at the start? Apologies if I am missing the obvious, but that sort of stuff is way above my head, and the program runs perfectly happily if you delete it...

Thanks Simon,
The creation of the DIBSection is only there because it is part of the base program I use, which usually involves accessing the screen directly rather than using DRAW PLOT etc. In this case you are right it is redundant.
The * was probably introduced by my 1 Year old, who likes attacking my laptop at any given moment😉
Regards Ric

Thanks, mate. I've already written a simple graphics program that includes rubber banding. I simply suggested it as I find the process a) useful and b) interesting and thought your sone might think the same.

Hi Ric,
It's nice, and a good reminder that sometimes simple is better than fancy! I haven't tried it on a tablet yet, but it works fine on a desktop.
Best wishes,
D
