RGSS Addon

[ThallionDarkshine]

Who here thinks that it would be a good idea to add on to the built in RGSS classes such as bitmap. Well, I'm starting doing it. So far I have added in several RGSS2 bitmap functions missing from RGSS.

Functions completed:

Bitmap:
draw_gradient(rectangle, color1, color2, gradient_type[, subtype])
rectangle - rectangle in which to draw gradient
color1, color2 - starting and ending colors
gradient_type:
0 - horizontal, 1 - vertical, 2 - diagonal, 3 - radial
subtype - for diagonal:
0 - top-left to bottom-right, 1 - top-right to bottom-left
- this method is very laggy, especially with anything other than horizontal or vertical

draw_circle(rectangle, color[, border, border_size, border_color])
rectange - rectangle in which to draw circle
color - color of the circle
border - whether to draw a border (default false)
border_size - how large the border is (default 0)
border_color - color of the border (default black)
- this method doesn't lag as much as the gradient, but it still lags

blur
- this method only lags a bit compared to the other functions

sharpen
- this method lags a little more than blur

draw_line(x1, y1, x2, y2, color[, width])
x1, y1, x2, y2 - starting and ending coordinates of line
color - color in which to draw the line
width - thickness of the line

great idea! but they've all been done... several times. Check around. (also look in the MACL)
Not saying that you shouldn't create your own, as it's a good learning experience. And who knows, your version may be an improvement...

Be Well

I tried out some of the MACL functions, but they didn't seem to work.

Just a quick update on the progress of this project. I am almost ready to release version 1.0 of RGSS Addon. I have successfully ported most of the code to a dll to speed it up and have created corresponding ruby functions.
