Working on the Doodle Drawing Recorder/Player. Testers wanted

[Dav]

I'm re-doing the Doodle draw program started a few years ago, which records what you draw on the screen and plays it back to you, showing a hand doing the drawing.  This one is using a new drawing method.  Would appreciate some testers.  See it it works smoothly for you.  I'm having a little display glitches now and then, can't seem to narrow down why.  Especially after changing the color (Pressing C), the mouse seems to hang in Linux sometimes.  And the hand jumps around sometimes oddly.  Probably I'm coding mouse usage wrong.

Left Click to draw, Right Click to clear screen. D = Draws, F = FILL, C = Change color, SPACE restarts.  Use +/- to change brush size.  Press ESC to stop drawing and play back what you drew.

Eventually this will save/load the drawing files, but for now it just works without saving any files.   Just draw and press ESC, it will playback what you just drew.  Trying to get the basic bugs out of the way first.

The .BAS source is kind of large, so here it is for download.

(EDIT: Download removed. Get the lastest version posted HERE)

As usual, amazing job, and I like the drawing hand and forearm!

The area around line 63 might benefit from the following:

Code: (Select All)

$IF WIN THEN
        'This makes no sense, but it fixed the glitch in windows.
        DO UNTIL _MOUSEX = mx AND _MOUSEY = my
            mi = _MOUSEINPUT
            _MOUSEMOVE mx, my
        LOOP
$END IF

This fixes the mouse problem on Linux after the color dialog is used.

I think the jumping hand glitch is gone.  Had to add a small _DELAY after choosing a new color for some reason.  And I removed my horrible Color Picker and used QB64's beautiful _COLORCHOOSERDIALOG instead (forgot it was there!).

After removing my colorpicker function the source is cut in half, so here it is.  This seems to replay drawings better now.

'Little screen drawing/recording program.
'Draw something on the screen using the mouse,
'Your drawing will be recorded and played back.
'A Hand will draw it back on the screen.
'Coded by Dav, AUGUST/2023

'==========
'HOW TO USE:
'==========

'Left Click to draw using the mouse
'Right click mouse to clear the screen.

'D = DRAW mode (default - drawing on screen)
'F = FILL mode (like paint - fills area with color)
'C = Change color (selects a new one)
'+/- to Change brush size.

'SPACE erases recording and starts over.

'Pressing ESC will stop the recording and start playback.
'Pressing ESC during playback will stop the playback.

@mnrvovrfc, Sorry we posted at the same time! I'll look over your fix now. Thanks!

- Dav

[Dav]

You're right, @mnrvovrfc, that did work.  I put that in the code.  Thank you!   I also shortened the delay to .5 as that seems to be enough on my my computer to work.  The hand image started as a photo of my hand holding a pencil, I converted it to 16 colors to make it a smaller file size.  Thank you for your testing!

- Dav

[Dav]

Yes, the hand jumping is gone now using _ColorChooserDialog instead, but I've discovered that the dialog can't be seen when using a screen in _FULLSCREEN. Anyway, after doing a bunch a drawings and seeing no hand glitches I'd say the drawing work is working ok, now will move onto things like file saving/loading, maybe work on a menu of some kind.  Speed control/pause during playback.  Perhaps add printed TEXT to a drawing.  Here's a sample animated drawing.  Played back perfect.

That's a fun program.
I'm using a windows machine, and I can see  _ColorChooserDialog in _fullscreen mode.

Code: (Select All)

'=== main drawing loop begins
_FullScreen
Cls , CanvasColor&

just shoved it in there to see what would happen and it worked fine.

Hmm, and it's working for me too now. Odd.  Sometimes yes, sometimes no?  I've been doing the Alt+Enter switch.   Well, I can live with it. Hey, thanks for trying it out, James!

- Dav

[Dav]

There's definitely a problem displaying the color chooser dialog once in a while under _FULLSCREEN on my windows 7.  Maybe it's just a video driver problem on my system.

Whenever the dialog won't appear, if I click on the screen somewhere, Windows plays a system sound (like when clicking out of bounds a defined area) and the color dialog will then appear.  So apparently the dialog is opened every-time, but probably just behind my fullscreen window until I click the mouse somewhere and bring it up to view? 

If I run this simplified code, and switch in/out of _fullscreen, eventually it will happen (press C to bring up color box, ESC to end, Alt+Enter to go in and out of fullscreen).  I ran it 20 times, 4 times the dialog wouldn't appear without clicking on the screen.

Code: (Select All)

Screen _NewImage(800, 600, 32)
_Display
_FullScreen
Do
    If InKey$ = "c" Then
        pick& = _ColorChooserDialog("Select a color", _RGB32(0, 255, 255))
    End If
Loop Until _KeyHit = 27

[bplus]

I tested this on Windows 10 laptop, worked OK QB64pe v3.8
```Screen _NewImage(800, 600, 32)
_Display ' ?
_FullScreen
Do
    If InKey$ = "c" Then
        pick~& = _ColorChooserDialog("Select a color", _RGB32(0, 255, 255))
    End If
    Color , pick~&
    Cls
    _Display
    _Limit 60
Loop Until _KeyHit = 27```

Of course not as nice as this one ;-))
