I trying to make a program that'll make hard coding sprites easier.

With this program you'll be able to: (Done, Finished but untested, in progress, not started, not possible) ['as of' version number]
-Make more complex sprites easily
-Make line sprites [v.9]
-Make fine or thick sprites
-Easily get a friendly window
-Save your project and finish it later
-Load a background sprite
-Easily change colors of sprite.
-Auto-save
-Undo
-Delete [v.9]
-Adjust speed of cursor
-Test dot sprite:
--Rotate sprite
--Reflections
--Translations
--Stretching

Here's what I have so far.


If you have any questions or ideas for this please post.

This would be a rather nice tool, and I would gladly donate code samples from my earlier attempts making something similar.

You may want to have a look at a previous topic of mine that never quite got completed, but the editing sprites part got completed.
The idea was to be able to create or edit xLIBc(e) spritesheets on-calc.
Here is a link.

Hey I got a rough program done! I'm going out-of-state so I wont be able to work on this until either Thursday or Friday. But until then, I need some 'gamma testers', this is such an early program I can't call it a 'beta release' . I'm putting it out there since I'll be gone a while and I still want feedback.

Gamma testers: Tell me what you like, dislike, and what you'd like to see implemented. If you run into a bug please note the exact steps to get this bug.

I know a few features aren't functioning right now and this is about as bugy as Windows 10, but I'll fix those when I get back.

Here it is AAIONIA V.1 Gamma release 1 (Note: This code may change without notice until 6/18/17 at 9:45 CDT)


Code:

Sorry for the double post, but this needs to be separated from the previous post.

I haven't gotten much feed back on this so I've made a poll to see how many people are actually interested in this.

I've finished Gamma release 2 which fixes many bugs with gamma 1 and adds in many new features, including saving your current zoom to use later, a better auto save feature, and an actual ReadMe!

I'll try to get a screenshot in when I get back from vacation.

Some errors:
When adjusting window to "suggested for thick" text runs off screen
Syntax error when window is adjusted to "suggested for thin"
Undo gives dimension error

An additional note: Maybe I don't understand how its supposed to work, but the arrows keys don't seem to do anything in the draw screen? How am I supposed to draw the sprites...

found and fixed!
this does happen if you have nothing on the screen and you press it. I'm working on preventing that. Does it still happen if you place down a few points first?
I guess I forgot to include that in the ReadMe . when you move the arrow keys a 'cursor' appears that marks where you are about to place a point. Press [Enter] or [2nd] to place a point.

Thanks dankcalculatorbro! I really appreciate this.

So now that I'm back, I'm attempting to get the plot colors working.

I know I can do this

Code:

The problem is, the color isn't being saved. So if the plot color in the calculator settings is RED and you did Plot1(<type>,<list>,<list>,<type>,BLUE it would correctly plot the coordinates the color BLUE. But later if you did Plot1(<type>,<list>,<list>,<type> it would revert back to plotting the coordinates RED.

My original solution was "use a variable!" but that throws an ERROR: INVALID.

I cant just do
Code:

That's just way too slow.

My second problem is my cursor movement code is atrocious, there has got to be a better way than what I have
Code:

I've tried
Code:

But this keeps the cursor outside the window boundaries. if I flip the locations (Xmax with Xmin and Ymax with Ymin etc.) then it keeps the cursor within a 4x4 square around the origin.


So my questions are: Is there any way to save a plot color in-program? or will I have to give instructions on how to manually change the plot color? And how do I optimize my movement code?

EDIT:
So I tried

Code:

Would this be the correct syntax for this?

Plotn seems to insist on color tokens while refusing all other forms of computation.

Second problem fix:

Code:

You swapped min( and max( as well as 25 and 34, and your step-by-X logic was lost in translation.

If you replace the innermost sum( with min( or max(, it should be about 2 seconds faster per line over 10,000 iterations.

That's unfortunate. I guess I'll just have to put instructions on how to change it manually. Thanks for going through all that trouble to help me though.


Thanks so much for this! you just made my program quite a bit faster.



Do you mean something like this?

Anyways, thanks for all your help Weregoose!

Lots of double posts...

I'm trying to get this to display my sprite as a thick sprite, now it works but it still keeps breaking my main code
Code:


Why does this not work? I assume it has to do with my nested If statements. Also, this keeps breaking my program. Right now I have it blocked in a While 0 loop, but if I take it out of the loop then my code just refuses to work at all. I've done some bug testing (putting Disp "enter number here" in strategic locations) and the program is still running through everything, it's just ignoring my commands for some reason.

Here's my entire code (with the secondary sprite code in a While 0 loop which is on line 185 and marked with ######)

Code:

I fixed it! now just a few more little things an I'll upload it to the Archives!

Why does this program have the name it has?

All right, it's been a little bit. I've added two things that I find are essential and frankly I should have included in my first release.

1. A delete function along with undo. I don't know why I didn't think of this before!
2. Ability to make 'line sprites' (that's what I call them). So you can place a line starting point then a line ending point. AAIONIA will connect the two points and make a sprite! This is for sprites that don't need to be so complex.

This will change it to v.9

A little problem. Actually it's more of an optimization question.

For my delete function to work, I need to detect where different numbers are (in the same position(X)) with both ʟAACDX (which stores the cursors current X coordinates) and ʟAACDY (which stores the cursors current Y coordinates)

I need to find the number from ʟAACDX(1) in ʟAAX1(?) and the number from ʟAACDY(1) in ʟAAY1(?).
This is my current code to find where the numbers are, I have no idea if it work properly or not.

Code:


My next step is deleting the number in position X for both lists ⌊AAX1 and ⌊AAY1. I've tried to make some code to do this myself, but it gives me an invalid dimension error on line 6.

Am I even doing this correctly?

Code:

If K=23
Then
1→X
1→Y
max(seq(X(⌊AACDX(1)=⌊AAX1(X) and ⌊AACDY(1)=⌊AAY1(X)),X,1,dim(⌊AAY1
seq(⌊AAX1(Y),Y,X+1,dim(⌊AAX1)→L₅
seq(⌊AAY1(Y),Y,X+1,dim(⌊AAY1)→L₆
For(A,dim(⌊AAX1),dim(⌊AAX1)-X,-1
List(cumSum(⌊AAX1)-⌊AAX1→⌊AAX1
List(cumSum(⌊AAY1)-⌊AAY1→⌊AAY1
End
augment(⌊AAX1,L₅)→⌊AAX1
augment(⌊AAY1,L₆)→⌊AAY1
End


My theory on how this should work
(I'll only use ⌊AAX1 in this theory) I'm thinking I will have to break off the end of ⌊AAX1 and save that to a sub list, then I need to just delete the last element of ⌊AAX1, then augment the sublist and ⌊AAX1 back together. I feel like there an easier way to do this though... Any ideas?

EDIT: Yep, there's an easier way

Thank you so much PT_! The 'Delete' is now green!
