Copy and Paste with Windows Clipboard?

2nd December 2007

OK so I did a bit of research...
Elsewhere on BB.com was someone asking about Clipboard.decls but got no reply. I googled it and got the following from BlitzForum.de (after deciphering the translated page to understand the links I needed and then using th*snip*

Er... nope. It's beyond me. I'm only after copy and paste of text and Banks are new to me. Thanks anyway

Copy and Paste with Windows Clipboard?

2nd December 2007

Oooh, I'll have to scratch my head to understand how to apply that to text but it's certainly a look in the right direction.
I tried searching at bb.com but I've not been there for so long that can't remember my password :D
Cheers!

Copy and Paste with Windows Clipboard?

First of all, is it possible and secondly, how?
It's a very simple problem but I'm sure the solution will be a bit convoluted and no doubt require a dll or something :(
If you can help, you may need to be very patient and detailed if it's not a straight *snip*

#127 - The 1 Hour Challenge

28th November 2007

OK, Pretty much exactly 1 hour (though I had to look up a few command references first so I knew what I was doing) and it's not quite what it should be. Had I done this last night I could have had another hour and advanced further...

Ah crap! I keep thinking these things end on Wednesday (ie Wednesday night) One idea was never going to happen in the time and another one refused to work to start with, I was going to try something else tomorrow...

AI and Sounds

27th November 2007

You're not alone, I make annoyingly stupid spelling mistakes and spend ages trying to work out why something suddenly stops working. The other classic for me is forgetting to set a variable as global. That had me going for well over an hour this week :D

AI and Sounds

26th November 2007

I see it's the WaitKey() in updatefootstep() that is stopping everything.
I replaced it with a global variable increment to count the 'hits' rather than stopping everything and it seems to be going up by 6 or 7 each time and doesn't coincide with the sphe*snip*

26th November 2007

Still not 100% sure what you're trying to do but I just started to look over your code again and you haven't given type_sounds a value so no collisions are being detected!
I set it to 5 and when the sphere hit the box everything stopped. I'm guessing that*snip*

Sun with a Quad?

19th November 2007

Like I said, you need a graduated texture. Something like this (a very rough and ready demo image). Play around with it and see what you can do

Apply it as a texture to the quad as in your first code. It's far from perfect but may be the di*snip*

Sun with a Quad?

19th November 2007

Looks alright to me, it probably depends on what the camera is looking at. I think you may need to add a texture to your quad though, to give it more of a graduated look and perhaps add a sun-flair somehow?
Mind you, you haven't given us your sun.png so w*snip*

Podcast Recommendations

15th November 2007

I don't do podcasts as such but I use the BBC's listen again feature to catch the Radio 4 comedy quiz "I'm Sorry I haven't A Clue" and the classic episodes on BBC7.
I never thought I'd be listening to radio 4 but I stumbled across a late night repeat once*snip*

Well, I didn't get to work on it tonight so it's still random generated and no level editor.
Basically as before, move about the maze with cursor keys, collect the ingredients and find the cauldron, smash pumpkins with SPACE for power-ups. Now runs twice *snip*

I didn't answer earlier because it's not an area I've really looked at. I recently had a quick look at a simple tutorial on height map terrains but that's it. With Mousey's input I've done a bit of thinking and learned a bit myself.

You could always upload it to YouTube then save what it generates and, if you want, delete it from YouTube :D
Not a pretty solution though, I grant you!

Youtube and Copyrights

31st October 2007

To be fair to Google/YouTube they are playing completely by the book. They are also trying to return YouTube to its original purpose, personal, amateur, home-made movies. The ability to watch copyrighted clips was due to mis-use but it kind of took over. Y*snip*
