Graphic problems, yet again...

[DiGiTaIErRoR]

Ok I kind of, let me emphasize that KIND OF, got this down, i'm getting points drawn on my form anyway...

How can I clear the form? Or even go further and possibly make what's drawn fade out to the background color, which is black.

I included a zip of the exe of what I'm doing in VB, I want to convert this to c++ so it's faster and hopefully cooler. Since c++ can handle graphics much faster than VB.

Any other suggestions are welcome since I am a newbie and c++ is much more difficult and complex than VB. If you do suggest something please include some source so I can *TRY* to use it.

Thanks a lot!

I dont really have any answers for you... but how hard is it to create something like that?

[DiGiTaIErRoR]

The math is the easy part, lol, making C++ work with it is difficult... I can get the points to appear using setpixelV with windows.h API set. But... I can get the BG color to change, and I have no idea how to clear it.

I'm stuck!

[DiGiTaIErRoR]

Here's what I got so far in c++. Maybe you'll be able to help me better?

[DiGiTaIErRoR]

Oh yeah... since i don't know how to do it with a timer setting it's refresh you have to move ur mouse over the form.

The source would help even more...

did you try redrawing the window... with UpdateWindow() or RedrawWindow()?

[amac]

If you ever have time, I would be interested in learning more about the "math".

[DiGiTaIErRoR]

I messed up the source... it doesn't work now... something about setpixelv being static or something.

[DiGiTaIErRoR]

Is there anyway to put this in a console?

It'd probably be better.

*sigh* :confused:

[DiGiTaIErRoR]

Hey amac you have IRC, msn, aim or something so we could chat about this?

[amac]

Not sure about the console thing... I dont see why you couldnt though.

I am on ICQ right now... 9685571, but I can also use IRC.... I will leave that up to you

[DiGiTaIErRoR]

I don't have icq, too many advertisements....
i'll be on irc.newnet.net
