A Few Alternate Functions

[RetroX]

Here are a few functions I made in GML to be used as alternates to not-done-yet functions.  Most are pretty simple, but hey.frac(x)

argument0=string(argument0);
for (i=string_length(argument0);i>0;i+=1;)
 {
 if string_char_at(i+1)!='.' then
  {
  array[i]=string_char_at(i);
  }
 else
  {
  array[i]='0';
  }
 }
string='';
for (i=0;i<string_length(argument0);i+=1;)
 {
 string+=array[i];
 }

return real(string);

draw_point(x,y)

draw_line(argument0,argument1,argument0,argument1);

draw_triangle(x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3,outline)

if argument6=true then pr_type=pr_linestrip else pr_type=pr_trianglelist;
draw_primitive_begin(pr_type);
draw_vertex(argument0,argument1);
draw_vertex(argument2,argument3);
draw_vertex(argument4,argument5);
if pr_type=pr_linestrip then draw_vertex(argument0,argument1);
draw_primitive_end();

draw_arrow(x1,y1,x2,y2,size);

draw_line(argument0,argument1,argument2,argument3);
draw_primitive_begin(pr_trianglelist);
draw_vertex(argument2,argument3);
x2=argument2+cos(degtorad(point_direction(argument2,argument3,argument0,argument1)+45))*argument4;
y2=argument2-sin(degtorad(point_direction(argument2,argument3,argument0,argument1)+45))*argument4;
draw_vertex(x2,y2);
x3=argument2+cos(degtorad(point_direction(argument2,argument3,argument0,argument1)+45))*argument4;
y3=argument2-sin(degtorad(point_direction(argument2,argument3,argument0,argument1)+45))*argument4;
draw_vertex(x3,y3);
draw_vertex(argument2,argument3);
draw_primitive_end();

draw_point_color(x,y,col1)

col=draw_get_color();
draw_set_color(argument2);
draw_line(argument0,argument1,argument0,argument1);
draw_set_color(col);

draw_triangle_color(x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3,col1,col2,col3,outline)

if argument9=true then pr_type=pr_linestrip else pr_type=pr_trianglelist;
draw_primitive_begin(pr_type);
draw_vertex_color(argument0,argument1,argument6);
draw_vertex_color(argument2,argument3,argument7);
draw_vertex_color(argument4,argument5,argument8);
if pr_type=pr_linestrip then draw_vertex(argument0,argument1);
draw_primitive_end();

All those functions already exist, the front page isn't updated.

I'm sorry, I've been devoting more time to the actual project than to its progress page.

Maybe that's a good thing anyway.

Thank you though, that was still a nice thought and good thinking.

=P

Well, I guess that's a good thing.
But you might want to add in a "expand/collapse all" button.  Though I could just click "show hidden elements" in Web Developer, it might be useful to others.

But at least we have the draw_arrow function I made.

That frac(x) is even worse than my x%1 method

[RetroX]

Just shut the hell up, serprex. >_>

double frac(double x) { return x-(int)x; }

[OniLink10]

double frac(double x) { return x-(int)x; }

Pwnage.

I didn't know C++ when I made this.

GML for frac(x)

Code: [Select]

return (argument0-floor(argument0));

[Rusky]

no, gml for frac(x) is

Code: [Select]

frac(x):p

[score_under]

Not when you can't use frac(x)
An alternative to draw_text(): Trawl through Microsoft's documentation, try to find their GD functions, draw some text onto a bitmap using them, draw that bitmap with 2 triangles in openGL. But this would also completely ruin the cross-platform aspect of Enigma.

Why not just use sprites like a sane person?  They look better anyways.

Not if you're doing something that requires user input... you'd need to make a This-Time-It's-Interpreted GM program to dump all 255 characters of a font as a strip >.< (Since I'm too lazy to do it in Win32 API... but wait, SDL_TTF sounds feasible, or even... implement that in cpp<{ }> tags! Yes, I hope they get standardised in engima like that.)
