So, how would I go about drawing an image (in Java).
Currently, the relevant part of the code is:

Code: [Select]

private void gameRender(){
if (dbImage == null){
dbImage = createImage(PWIDTH, PHEIGHT);
if (dbImage == null){
System.out.println("dbImage is null");
return;
} else {
dbg= dbImage.getGraphics();
}
}

//clear screen
dbg.setColor(Color.white);
dbg.fillRect(0, 0, PWIDTH, PHEIGHT);

//So how would I add an image here?
   
    }

} // End of gameRender


I have an image, let's say tree.png. How would I add it?

He could also consider using something like int(#/2)-5, then.

If OP is so concerned to get 9 ending up as -1, I'm thinking that the sourcebook maths/tables probably work on this basis.  Doing an integer division of the whole-number-positive then dragging the lesser numbers into negative territory as much as it drags the higher numbers into not-so-higher territory, but retaining an equal number of multiple-to-one mapping in for all X->Y (in this case, 2 Xs for every Y, something that classically integering (#-10)/2 would not do for the same range.

But, of course, floor's bias towards the more negative/less positive does this.

Anyway, that's a lot of waffle.  (Sub-)Topic closed?

What's wrong with

Code: [Select]

(#==9)? -1 : #;except that it looks like brainfuck?

[Max White]

If (# is equal to 9) return -1, else return #.
Not exactly brainfuck stuff...

You know, I'm so used to doing stuff in Perl that isn't (as easily, or so similarly) possible in any 'proper' dialect of C, that I'd never even considered using the ?: notation, even though I've been using it heavily (in Perl) over the last 48 hours.

But if 9 must end up as -1 (where OP's original formula would not have done), I'm suspecting that 7 must end up as -2 as well (where OP's original formula would not have done, but where it should have landed regardless).  And while 7 might be considered 'out of range', I don't think we can exclude the possibility that it somehow finds its way into range (like I said before, a poison effect reducing STR below my presumed normal minimum value of .  If the floor() version from Mephisto or my rearrangement version with the int()ed division then minused both give valid results for 9, I suspect they'll give valid results for 7[1] as well.  Without any "special case" handling needed at all.


[1] And 5 and 3 and 1, and I feel reasonably confident that there'd be no -1 base Strength, so we can stop there, although Mephisto's version will continue to do what I think it ought to do, however much 'out there' we might ever find ourselves needing to cater for...

Does anyone know Visual BASIC here or Small BASIC?

If so I would ask of someone to direct me to or give me the command that allows one to open other programs.


I don't seem to be able to find it on the internet.

[Max White]

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(filelocation)
I'm pretty sure, try it anyway.

[Chaos Armor]

It does not work. It may be because I'm using the smaller more 'new' programmer friendly Small BASIC. It does not have everything Visual BASIC does.

There is the command:

File.ReadContents(filepath)

But it only reads the file and I can't figure out how to get it to display the contents or draw from it.

[Max White]

Ah, if you are using small basic, instead of visual basic, I don't like your chances. Small basic is very limited in functionality by design choice. What do you plan on doing with it?

[Chaos Armor]

The program I'm making or Small BASIC?

I would get Visual BASIC but it costs $130 I think and I'm not sure if that's a good investment yet.

Yes Small BASIC is very annoying but it helped me learn. Didn't like C++ to much, too many brackets and too much code for something as simple as "Hello World" (C++ is a very powerful language though). I do like Python and am still learning about it, which is why I got Small BASIC.

[Max White]

Legal free version of visual basic you say?
Oh Microsoft, you are too kind.

[Chaos Armor]

I looked at that on a different site before but the creator didn't have enough data to let that many people download it.

Thank you so much.

Looks appetizing.

[Max White]

Don't thank me, thank the good people over at Microsoft! Building a brighter tomorrow, today!


_{There, I did my part of the deal, now give me my soul back!
NEVER!!!}

[Valid_Dark]

I bought darkBASIC a very long time ago, and didn't like it. I was like 13 at the time.

[Chaos Armor]

It's one of those trial versions Max.

I love Microsoft!

[Max White]

Na, it is an express version. It never runs out, and it can do everything programming wise, but it doesn't have all the really cool IDE functionality of the pro version. For example, it won't draw your class diagram for you, and you can't program with a friend over the network, but for your needs it is perfect.
