problem with french characters

Posted by: bul71 - 04-19-2018, 08:43 PM - Forum: Questions and discussions - No Replies

	Hi. I'm currently learning Naalaa and it sounds cool to me but I don't know how to display correctly french special characters that come from a file. All these characters diplay propperly when they are directly in the code but not when they come from a file after the open instruction. Is there anybody with an idea to resolve the problem ? Thank you.

	Here's the drawing program that I have been working on for many weeks. It uses the new ellipse command that Marcus made . (Fast!!) Attached Files MandalaV2.zip (Size: 779.05 KB / Downloads: 5)

Drawing an ellipse

Posted by: Marcus - 04-06-2018, 04:11 PM - Forum: Showcase - Replies (1)

The draw ellipse command is of course written in C. But I first implemented it in naalaa (which is way easier than rebuilding the runtime for every change). Here's the code I was experimenting with, for the fun of it.

The filled version caused some problems. If any pixel was drawn more than once, it wouldn't work with transparency (some areas of the ellipse would be less transparent than others), so I had to draw horizontal and vertical spans depending on the quadrant.

Code:
set redraw off

do

    set color 0, 0, 0, 2

    cls

    set color rnd(256), rnd(256), rnd(256), rnd(256)

    x = rnd(640); y = rnd(480)

    xr = 32 + rnd(64); yr = 32 + rnd(64)

    _FillEllipse x, y, xr, yr

    set color rnd(256), rnd(256), rnd(256), rnd(256)

    x = rnd(640); y = rnd(480)

    xr = 32 + rnd(64); yr = 32 + rnd(64)

    _DrawEllipse x, y, xr, yr

    redraw

    wait 16

until keydown(27, true)

procedure DrawEllipse(cx, cy, xr, yr)

    twoasqr = 2*xr*xr

    twobsqr = 2*yr*yr

    x = xr

    y

    xc = yr*yr*(1 - 2*xr)

    yc = xr*xr

    err

    sx = twobsqr*xr

    sy

    while sx >= sy

        _PlotEllipse cx, cy, x, y

        ADD y 1

        ADD sy twoasqr

        ADD err yc

        ADD yc twoasqr

        if 2*err + xc > 0

            SUB x 1

            SUB sx twobsqr

            ADD err xc

            ADD xc twobsqr

        endif

    wend

    x

    y = yr

    xc = yr*yr

    yc = xr*xr*(1 - 2*yr)

    err

    sx

    sy = twoasqr*yr

    while sx <= sy

        _PlotEllipse cx, cy, x, y

        ADD x 1

        ADD sx twobsqr

        ADD err xc

        ADD xc twobsqr

        if 2*err + yc > 0

            SUB y 1

            SUB sy twoasqr

            ADD err yc

            ADD yc twoasqr

        endif

    wend

endproc

procedure PlotEllipse(cx, cy, x, y)

    draw pixel cx + x, cy + y

    draw pixel cx - x, cy + y

    draw pixel cx - x, cy - y

    draw pixel cx + x, cy - y

endproc

procedure FillEllipse(cx, cy, xr, yr)

    twoasqr = 2*xr*xr

    twobsqr = 2*yr*yr

    x = xr

    y

    xc = yr*yr*(1 - 2*xr)

    yc = xr*xr

    err

    sx = twobsqr*xr

    sy

    while sx >= sy

        _FillEllipseH cx, cy, x, y

        ADD y 1

        ADD sy twoasqr

        ADD err yc

        yc = yc + twoasqr

        if 2*err + xc > 0

            SUB x 1

            SUB sx twobsqr

            ADD err xc

            ADD xc twobsqr

        endif

    wend

    h = y - 1

    x

    y = yr

    xc = yr*yr

    yc = xr*xr*(1 - 2*yr)

    err

    sx

    sy = twoasqr*yr

    while sx <= sy

        _FillEllipseV cx, cy, x, y, h

        ADD x 1

        ADD sx twobsqr

        ADD err xc

        ADD xc twobsqr

        if 2*err + yc > 0

            SUB y 1

            SUB sy twoasqr

            ADD err yc

            ADD yc twoasqr

        endif

    wend

endproc

procedure FillEllipseH(cx, cy, x, y)

    draw rect cx - x, cy - y, x*2 + 1, 1, true

    if y <> 0 then draw rect cx - x, cy + y, x*2 + 1, 1, true

endproc

procedure FillEllipseV(cx, cy, x, y, h)

    draw rect cx - x, cy - y, 1, y - h, true

    draw rect cx - x, cy + h + 1, 1, y - h, true

    if x <> 0

        draw rect cx + x, cy - y, 1, y - h, true

        draw rect cx + x, cy + h + 1, 1, y - h, true

    endif

endproc

The code is based on this paper: https://dai.fmph.uniba.sk/upload/0/01/Ellipse.pdf

Quick Question

	What is involved in creating a library for Naalaa? (Ok. I said the question was "quick" but I suspect the answer will not... lol) J

I tried to update my avatar (128x128px png 1.1k). Didn't work. THEN noticed it should have been 100x100. No problem. Resized and all is well.

Here is the issue.
1. The instructions for changing the avatar stated that if it is too big it will be resized. Initially added the 128x128 image and a blank browser screen just sat there and did nothing. Re-submitted the modified (100x100) image and it update just fine.
2. I tried to make this post with the original image attached and the browser screen went blank and sat there. Tried to "re-send" and the draft posting disappeared.

It's a bit weird. Not a "game changer" but odd. Thought I would point it out...

Version 1.0.3 released

Posted by: Marcus - 04-02-2018, 04:11 PM - Forum: Announcements - Replies (1)

I'm terribly sorry for the small and frequent updates. But I found some issues while jumping between Linux (which is my primary platform these days) and Windows.

This fix is for both Linux and Windows:

The filled ellipses drawn with draw ellipse now looks much smoother (I noticed some asymmetry)

This is for Windows only:

The Keycodes library has been updated with they keys VK_a to VK_z

When using the keydown function to check whether an alphabetical key is being pressed, rather use, for example, VK_a, than "A". This is for platform compatibility reasons. The truth is that keyboard input works much better on Linux than it ever did on Windows. I will make a big overhaul for Windows regarding this soon.

Windows: http://naalaa.com/msi/N6_1_0_3.msi
Linux: http://naalaa.com/release/naalaa6_1.0.3_x86_64.tar.gz

I promise I won't release another update for atleast a month now Smile

Error code with min/max and floats

Posted by: kcfb - 04-02-2018, 12:34 PM - Forum: Windows specific - Replies (2)

	Hi, while looking at the Rocketboy code using Windows version 1.0.2, I'm getting the same sort of problem that Rick identified earlier with the "abs" keyword in Arkenoid. Specifically "min" in lines 95 & 114, and "max" in line 124 need a "#" added in order to run under Windows. Thanks.

I just started writing some code for a game, was thinking about something Defender like but with a boy using a jet pack. But I discovered something weird (atleast on Linux).

You move left and right with the corresponding arrow keys and hold up to use the jet pack. You shoot with spacebar. If I hold left and up (to fly up left) and press spacebar while still holding the other buttons, spacebar doesn't register. Does this happen for anyone else? Is there a difference between Windows and Linux, or is it perhaps a limitation on my keyboard? If I press spacebar first and then up and left, it works as it should.

Sorry for the graphics.

Windows and Linux version 1.0.2 released

Posted by: Marcus - 04-01-2018, 01:51 PM - Forum: Announcements - Replies (2)

I have now added the draw ellipse command to both the Windows and Linux versions.

Windows: http://naalaa.com/msi/N6_1_0_2.msi
Linux: http://naalaa.com/release/naalaa6_1.0.2_x86_64.tar.gz

The syntax is: draw ellipse center_x, center_y, radius_x, radius_y[, filled]

Example:

Code:
set redraw off

do

 ' Set random color.

 set color rnd(256), rnd(256), rnd(256), rnd(256)

 ' Draw random filled ellipse.

 draw ellipse rnd(640), rnd(480), 16 + rnd(64), 16 + rnd(64), true

 ' Draw random unfilled ellipse.

 draw ellipse rnd(640), rnd(480), 16 + rnd(64), 16 + rnd(64), false

 redraw

 wait 16

until keydown(27, true)

If you want to draw circles, use the same value for radius_x and radius_y.
