I looked on the internet and almost wet myself, thee was no program to change PIC's to programs that display the same pic Surprised


If anyone would like me to build something like this, pleese gimme feedback.

By the way, Is there a "make a new program" call in programming, this would be vital to the program


For those thick people among us i shall explain it further

you have PIC, run pic through program, new program shows up in PRGM that has sprites and displayes exact same pic as in your pic file, only it takes 2 MIN to load Sad

There is no way to create a new program from within another in BASIC only in asm, but you can automatically store to a string and then paste the string into a new program. There are quite a few programs like this on ticalc.org. My program converts the pic into a string, then you use the 2nd, rcl command to paste the string into a program. The pic takes a while to generate thoug.

You can download it http://halfbaked.ufo-landing.net/FULLPIC.8xp or here..

Oh, sorry I didnt display the source. I opened the file up in TI-Graphlink and pasting it results in a bunch of symbols where the non Windows tokens are (Str1, ->, etc). Is there a way just to paste it as letters instead without it displaying the characters?

UM...... I don't understand what your program does, either I am missing something VERY important, or you are.


YOU HAVE PIC, PROGRAM READS PIXLES IN PIC AS ON OR OFF, IF ON, IT CREATES A COMMAND, LIKE "PXL-ON(1,1," IT IS SUPPOSED TO SAVE ROOM AND TIME IN THE PROGRAMMING WORLD, SO NOW EVERYONE CAN HAVE GRAPHICALY STUNNING, 2MPH GAMES THAT DON'T USE PIC'S!!


You got it first from a BabyBoy Laughing

Ok. When you run the program it has two inputs. You put in the size of the sprite in the inputs. For example, if you have an 8 by 8 sprite, put in an 8, then another 8. The drawing on the graphscreen must be in the upper left corner.

After this, my program reads the pixels that are on. If a pixel is on it adds pxl-on( and the coordinates to a string (string 1). Then, when it is finished, you paste the string into a new program.

What was so hard to understand? I know my progisnt very user friendly, but its for use with programmers, not with people who just draw pictures in math class.

sorry about that Razz , UM.. how do i get it to show on the graphscreen from a list. LINE(L1(1) or something? :?

Hmm, I'll experiment with that...

Although I think the string idea would be the better way to go. If you used the lists to store the pixels it could get quite messy, and you would have to create a new program and type in all of the Pxl-On(lst(1),lst(2) by hand. Get what I am saying?

Also, a newer version of Fullpic will be made, it will be called pICON and be hosted at mynew TI programming site, falcon-ti.tk. (Any potential members e-mail jeffreyjamal01@hotmail.com for application)

Hmmm, something tells me you didn't check out the Asm graphics section of ticalc.org Very Happy

although each pic has to have its own program, (which could result in a 20 program RPG) but it's still (00|_

holy ######! I never knew they had that. I think I'll probably update all of my programs with this. It shouldn't be too much work

There's one that I think will do 7 level grayscale too, but I think you have to leave the pics in Pic1, 2 and 3.

yea, ive found that too.

Guess What? MORE QUESTIONS!
1. Does anyone here speak <J00> ?
2. Has anyone played wolfenstein for 83+? that is the greatest feat of calculator programming i have ever seen.
3. I am lookin for 1 on 1 instruction, anyone in northern minnesota?
4. what is the sickest videogame you have seen, i have seen PIC's in EGM of a Japaneese arcade game where you ram a foam finger in a plastic butt! Neutral

If you want to discuss that further, pleace make a topic about it in "Open Topic" forum, so this thread can stay on topic and people can discuss some more about these programs.

well, i looked at the source for that ssprite prog... it is a very messy prog... it could also write into ur other progs, and erase some of their data, if it wasnt careful (which it isnt very!)... not to be rude or anything, but it wasnt the best thing ive ever seen...

Hello again!

um...how do i define how big a list is, i want a number for every pixel so 6040 or so, i lost my book so i can't look it up Sad

Yes Adm.Wiggin is correct about ssmaker. The program itself is very poorly deisgned and in many cases does not even work.

For those of you who are interested I am making a program that will not only take a picture of the graphscreen and save it in a program/appvar (I have not decided which is best) but it will also compress the picture. It will have a sub program to decompress the picture and then display it. Or if people find it useful I could make it so the program itself can decompress the picture within and display it. The sub program to decompress is preferable as in the long run it will save more space. Depending on how much repeating data is in your pictures you could achieve a very high compression. Compressing the graphscreen when it is completely white will result in only 9 bytes of data where as without compression it takes 768 bytes. Nobody will compress a plain white pic but that's just an example. This program is well under way and could be released within the week. I just need to write the compression routine.

I think it would be very useful for us BASIC programmers if there was an asm program that would copy the graphscreen buffer into a new asm program, similar to ssmaker, however it could store more than one graphscreen into that single program. A BASIC programmer could call up the asm program as a subroutine and, according to whatever they stored to varaible x, the asm prog would display a pic. Like:


Code:
1->A
asm(prgmPicture)
//That would display pic 1

2->A
asm(prgmPicture)
//That would display pic 2

and so on...

Just use lists, one for each pixel, use pixel text and put 1's and 0's to the list, then run it through a reader that will put dots where the 1's are, im in the beta testing right now, it seems to work well, in a week or so it will be good to go.
