You need the background black and green text.

That's what I'm trying to move away from.

Eerr, you may already know of it, and I might not understand what your issue is, but have you looked at Bresenham's line algorithm?  It seems to be the standard raster line drawing algorithm, although it doesn't naturally allow for the double-width walls that most roguelikes require.

I think I just implemented my version by hand.

Code: [Select]

public static loc[] makeline(loc l, loc V)
        {
           

            double slope = ((double)l.X-V.X) / ((double)l.Y-V.Y);

            //int x =             
            int dx = (l.X - V.X);
            int absdx = Math.Abs(dx);
            int dy = (l.Y - V.Y);
            int absdy = Math.Abs(dy);
            int i;
            loc[] array;
            slope = (((double)dy) / ((double)dx));//dx/dy
            double altslope = (((double)dx) / ((double)dy));//dx/dy

            if (absdx > absdy)
            {
                array = new loc[absdx+1];

                if (dx <= 0)
                {
                    //i = dx;

                    for (i = dx; i <= 0; i++)
                    {
                        loc G;
                        G.X = i;
                        G.Y = (int)((double)i * slope -.5);

                        array[Math.Abs(i)] = G+V;

                    }
                    array[0] = V;
                    array[array.Length-1] = l;
               
                }
                else
                {
                    //absdx = dx;
                    for (i = 0; i <= absdx; i++)
                    {
                        loc G;
                        G.X = i;
                        G.Y = (int)((double)i * slope +.5);
                        array[i] = G+V;

                    }
                    array[0] = V;
                    array[array.Length - 1] = l;
                }
            }


            else
            {
                array = new loc[absdy+1];
                if (dy <= 0)
                {


                    for (i = dy; i <= 0; i++)
                    {
                        loc G;
                        G.Y = i;
                        G.X = (int)((double)i * altslope -.5);

                        array[Math.Abs(i)] = G+V;

                    }
                    array[0] = V;
                    array[array.Length - 1] = l;
                }
                else
                {
                    for (i = 0; i < absdy; i++)
                    {
                        loc G;
                        G.Y = i;
                        G.X = (int)((double)i * altslope +.5 );
                        array[i] = G+V;

                    }
                    array[0] = V;
                    array[array.Length - 1] = l;

                }

                //return Math.Abs(l.X - V.X);
            }

            return array;
        }
You can substitute point for loc without any changes if you sub

Code: [Select]

array[i] = G+V; for array[i].X = G.X+V.X; and array[i].Y = G.Y+V.Y;. I slowed down the algorithm further by operator overloading loc+loc. The last two points are copied over by hand. I am currently in fear of using mouse.x and mouse.y because I screwed up something which hung the computer. And then later the IDE crashed.


Actually, Bresenham's algorithm looks really good for making thick walls. Whenever the y increases, you either need an extra wall next to that point or at the point before.

Edit 2: Algorithm fixed for center-ness.
Edit 3: Algorithm fixed for further center-ness.

Good call, I didn't consider that.

Also, for some reason mousing over 14-15,  I keep getting 14-14 in that square. The same for 14-16
I smell rounding shenanigans.

Just my imagination. I failed to see the full black tip of the mouse properly against that rainbow background.
I changed it to dwarves and saw it fine.

[Lightman]

That's what I'm trying to move away from. 

Fair enough

Binary demo added to the original post. It adds a few things.

[eerr]

Ok, I figured out what I want to make, finally.

[eerr]

And it has nothing to do with Dwarf fortress.

[Alexhans]

how's this going, lightman?

I never actually made myself the time to try it properly because I figured I didn't have time to fiddle with c# but that may change soon enough in april depending on the bosses in my chain of command

So... If this is still alive by then I might get involved for learning purposes.

[eerr]

Lightman has no time, nor does he have any time in the near future.

Though features for the lab like something new to do with images wouldn't be out of the question, I think.

The lab for drawing ASCII text is sufficiently completed to draw most every symbol in dwarf fortress, in a DIY manner.

I'm surprised more people haven't posted about using it actually.

[Willfor]

This game itself is mostly meant to be a private project for friends based on the world and characters we've developed together, but I guess posting screens wouldn't be too egregious.

I'm planning to use elements of the source later in a more public project.

[Outcast Orange]

That looks really nice.

I would like to see more of this.
