Hi everyone, here is a .c file that I made today.
It defines four new drawing functions:
-Draw elipse
-Draw square
-Draw triangle
-Draw 5-point star
All of these shapes can be rotated (except the ellipse), resized, thickened, colored, moved.
Script editor syntax:

Code: Select all

void draw_elipse(int xe, int ye,//coordinates on canvas                 
                 short int xrad,short int yrad,//x and y radius
                 short int thicknes,//line thicknes should be 1-15
                 short int red,short int green,short int blue)//color should be 0-255

ex:

//this will draw a squashed red elipse 2 pixels thick at canvas coordinates 100,100
draw_elipse(100,100,40,20,2,255,0,0);

Code: Select all

void draw_square(int xs, int ys,//canvas coordinates
                 short int size,//size
                 short int thicknes,//1-15
                 float rotation,//0-2
                 short int red,short int green,short int blue)//0-255

ex:

//This will draw a small rotated square
draw_square(200,200,10,1,0,255,255,255);

Code: Select all

void draw_triangle(int xt, int yt,//Canvas coordinates
                   short int size,//Size
                   short int thicknes,//1-15
                   float rotation,//Rotation should be 0-2 (limit it to these values if changing
                                  //dynamicaly
                   short int red, short int green, short int blue)//color

ex:

//this will draw a medium triangle tree pixels thick and slightly rotated
draw_triangle(500,100,40,3,1,0,200,200);

Code: Select all

void draw_star(int xs, int ys,
               short int size,
               short int thicknes,
               float rotation,//0-2
               short int red, short int green, short int blue)//0-255

ex:

//This will draw a large rotated star
draw_star(400,100,50,1,1.5,0,0,255);

You should be careful not to call these functions to often as they can slow down your game.
For more info about the functions look at the c file, it is somewhat commented. I tried to optimize it as much as i could, if anyone can do better please do and post here. Shapes are not fillable because it really slows things down.

Please post your opinions and comments. Bye

this is cool!

Great!
Moved to the Game Demos forum.

incredible!

Looks great! I could think of some other additions to add to it, but Ican't try them now, as the computer I use is not set up at the moment. But I might do them later.

yeah, It would be nice if there was a square with rounded sides

One thing I cannot figure out, in parts with cos and sin:

Code: Select all

(xs+(size*cos(ang1*pi))

it is using ang1 * pi. The pi is to convert from degrees to radians, but ang1 is an angle from 0-2. Shouldn't it be from 0-360, or am I missing something?

It has nothing to do with degrees everything is counted in radians.

Sin and Cos use Pi, Try those

when i use sin and cos, i just multiply by the size i want it to, so you could make something like this

Code: Select all

cos(ang1)*size;

I've started work on some more drawing functions. So far, I have

• N-Gon: draws a regular N-sided polygon.
• N-Star: draws an N-pointed star, with customizable inner and outer radius. (You can use a two-pointed star to make a rhombus)

When put in loops, you can make some really fancy images.
When I have made some more, I'll post the code, along with an example GED.(The image that uses the stars is too big, so you'll have to wait until I release it.)

What I'd like to do is an elipse that can be rotated. I can think of one way, but it involes using cos and sin twice for each point. Can anyone think of a more efficient way?

I have just added another one: DrawSpiral. This draws a spiral, witha gradient colour, from inside to outside. You can specify the number of turns (positive or negative) and the radius, as well as rotation, inside colour and outside colour.

I've made some more now, I've figured out the elipse with rotations, and I've also made a DrawCogwheel function.

incredible!
