spinal	Did I read somewhere that in PMC you can draw onto an image? -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

Jayenkai	You used to be able to grab the current canvas, but I think incompatibility issues might've made DD remove that feature. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

JL235	You could never grab the current canvas. You could however grab a copy, using getScreenshot() (that should really be under graphics rather than utility). It copies the screen to a new image, and returns it. However the proper way is to just create an image, and draw to it. All of the global graphics commands area available as methods for the Image class. For example ... img = new Image( 200, 200 ) img.fill( :blue ) img.setColor( :pink ) img.fillRect( 60, 60, 50, 50 ) drawImage( img, 100, 100 ); --v

Jayenkai	You can tell I don't read instructions, can't you! Jay continues to fumble through PMC, adding ;s to the ends of his lines -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

steve_ancell	You're not the only one Jay, I don't read instructions in any great detail either.

Afr0	That's why I love coding in languages that aren't proprietary; once I know the basics, I can Google my way to 98% of the stuff I'm wondering about. -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

JL235	It's about as propriety as Java, or C#. Both of them were developed by one company, and initially closed source (and Quby is open source now).

Afr0	"Proprietary" in the sense that Java and C# has millions of users and hundreds of thousands of tutorials and/or previously asked questions on any given aspect. Real world example: Just now I was wonder which was faster: Dictionary.ContainsKey() or Dictionary.TryGetValue() Because of C#'s widespread usage, I didn't have to time the (assumed) bottleneck myself - I could just google it. -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

JL235	That's not the definition of proprietary.

steve_ancell	Proprietary Programming Language Definition. A programming language that has been developed privately by a manufacturer for its own brand of robots. Amazing how Google can enlighten the mind. (Linkage) \|edit\| Although there's probably more to it than the bit of info I found. \|edit\|

Afr0	"Bigger" languages then. That doesn't carry the right connotation either. -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!
