More tutorials will come as I get them done.
Tell me if these tutorials are helpful and tell me what I need to do better for the tutorials to come.

I hope these are helpful!

+1 for the bmp tutorial. I'm gonna watch it right now!

EDIT* Oh no! It's a cliff hanger! You have to make part 2 RIGHT NOW

Just kidding. Take your time

Cool!

Yeah sorry about that, it was quite late here when I got the first part finished so I was too tired to make the another one. And I don't have time to work on the videos this weekend so you will have to wait a few days.. :/

But thanks for the point!

Noooooo

Haha, no problem

#define Awesome
void watch_tutorial()
{
bmp_tutorial = Awesome;
if(bmp_tutorial == Awesome)
{
lcl.points++;
Jagmaster.happy=true.
}
}

Kinda redundant with the if statement, but it gets the point across.
Keep 'em coming!

Thanks Jagmaster!

@SuperSonic: I might have some good news for you, my sunday turned out to be a day with lots of free time so I'm pretty sure I can finish the BMP tutorial already today! :--)

I will probably make some other tutorials today too. Videos and/or written tutorials.
I think an essential thing will be the written version of the BMP tutorial.

Sorry, I can't get the tutorial done today.. I recorded the video but my microphone kept making strange noise and it was difficult to understand what I said because of that. After struggling with it I found out that the charger of my laptop was causing the noise..

And now I'm too tired to make the tutorial anymore. I'm sorry but you will have to wait a little more..

No problem. But it's good that you found what was making the noise

Bitmap tutorial has now been finished!

It seems that youtube messed up the sound on the part I of the bitmap tutorial, the sound is many seconds ahead the video.. :/
And I am sorry about that noise under my voice, it is most likely caused by my computers audio card, it may not be all that good.

No problem. This is GREAT!

+1

Thanks, glad you like it
I hope more people will watch the videos and tell their opinions about them so I can develop the way I do the videos.

Ok, I have this wierd problem. I used your code but I changed it just a bit. Here's what I have:

Code: Select all

void ViewBMP(char *FP, int X, int Y)
{
    int header[64], i, j, WIDTH, HEIGHT;
    unsigned char R, G, B;
 
    FILE *BMP = fopen(FP, "r+b");
 
    for(i = 0; i < 64; i++)
    {
        header[i] = fgetc(BMP);
    }
 
    WIDTH  = header[18]+header[19]*256;
    HEIGHT = header[22]+header[23]*256;
 
    fseek(BMP, header[10], SEEK_SET);
 
    for(j = HEIGHT-1; j <= 0; j--)
    {
        for(i = 0; i < WIDTH; i++)
        {
            B = fgetc(BMP);
            G = fgetc(BMP);
            R = fgetc(BMP);
 
            setpen(R, G, B, 0, 1);
            putpixel(i + X, j + Y);
        }
        fseek(BMP, WIDTH%4, SEEK_CUR);
    }
    fclose(BMP);
}

As you can see, I pretty much just added the ability to view the image with X and Y. But this is wierd, I have a bitmap called "bitmap.bmp" and I have a canvas and on the canvas's create event, I put this:

Code: Select all

ViewBMP("bitmap.bmp", 32, 32);
//This makes the bitmap get displayed 32 pixels right, and 32 pixels down from the top left corner of the canvas

For some reason, when I start the game, nothing happens. I even waited for a while but still nothing happened. It's only a 32x32 bitmap. I don't think it would take a long time to draw. Also, the canvas takes up my full screen so it's not too small. Do you know what's wrong?

Have you tried the code with out the X and Y thing?

Yes, I have. Would you mind trying the code to see if it works for you? I'll give you a point just for trying
