Simple but useful: Text window without images

[Hblade]

This function allows you to draw a simple window handling both custom color per window, and opacity of the back part of the window. The command is easy as

Code: Select all

drawWin(r, g, b, transparency);


NOTE that this has to be in a Canvas Actor. The width and height are dependent on the canvas.
Simply replace r g b with the colors you want, and anywhere between 0 - 1 (EG: 0.50), where transparency is. Here's what this looks like :3

The code: Copy and paste this in the Global Code

Code: Select all

void drawWin(int R, int G, int B, double TRANS) {
    int i;
    setpen(R, G, B, TRANS, 1);
    moveto(3, 3);
    for (i=3;i<height-4;i++) {
        moveto(3, i);
        lineto(width-4, i);
                             }
    setpen(R*1.2, G*1.2, B*1.2, 0, 3);
    moveto(0, 0);
    lineto(0, height-1);
    lineto(width-1, height-1);
    lineto(width-1, 0);
    lineto(0, 0);
    setpen(R/2, G/2, B/2, 0, 3);
    moveto(4, 4);
    lineto(4, height-5);
    lineto(width-5, height-5);
    lineto(width-5, 4);
    lineto(4, 4);
                 }

Plus +1 for that useful info.

Pretty simple to use and looks great in game. Good job Hblade.

Yesterday, I have made a button for games using canvas. Check it out. I just wanna share it with you, maybe you'll think about where to use it
It can be resized to any size.
