graphics and sprites

[Paul Bowers]

So - we have determined how far I can push SailForms functionality wise - with my Programable Calculator which has morphed into a full IDE BASIC runtime - and I continue to add to it as I play.

We have also determined how far we can push it capacity and volume wise with my notepad spell check with half a million records in it.

I have yet not pushed it graphics wise - one of the biggest restrictions  is that you can dynamically change the content of labels based on data, and you cant rescale fields or change the fonts (other that system fonts).

so. for one of my other projects I wanted to display a score board and scrolling text. so for fun here is a project that demonstrates my DIGI-SPRIT method - a technique taken from my PSION ORGANISER II of over 30 years ago.

Its easy to use - I have supplied a font bank and form to add new characters etc - or invaders etc, to call it use remote table - the attached video shows it in use.

have fun.

Paul.

This project has been quite fun. Once you have the Sprite bank established with all the char and numbers and symbols you can call it in many ways.

The first method was as a single digit - I created some compressed chars too.

Then for a full screen - but this looked at bit clunky, so went and built a full screen matrix - the process to add chars to it from the spite bank was not

that complex.

The matrix then leads you to other graphics - and a simple animation with a keypad demonstrates this method. Ill see where this leads me as I play,

enjoy

Hi Paul, would there be any possibility of generating a barcode or QR code using this technique?

[Paul Bowers]

yes, I already have a version of a graph using the same method. I am going to write a function to rotate it to vertical.

ill look into a qr code generator - thats a challenge
