Graphic problems, yet again...

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?

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!

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

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()?

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

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

Is there anyway to put this in a console?

It'd probably be better.

*sigh* :confused:

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

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

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