There are mistakes when approaching sprites a lot and then moving them away is no longer formed.

Ok, can you give an example? (of a line that does not work as expected?). Do you know if this worked in earlier versions?

Or, PM me the code of yours that doesn’t work as expected.

Release of version 1.4 (link in first post) What's new: 1. getfullscreen operation added (see 1.15) 2. gettaskbarinfo operation added (see 10.7) 3. bug fix: fullcreen op now working for fullscreen 0 also if running legacy console (even when not forcing legacy mode) 4. gxyinfo op can now also be use...

Stability update to version 1.5. Wasn't planning on updating this, but then my WIndows 10 started mis-behaving, because I can no longer open a cmd.com window without it hanging! The only fix I found was to enable legacy console mode (some info at https://www.guidingtech.com/cant-type-in-cmd-error/ ...

Mini-update: fullscreen (Ctrl-Enter) should now hopefully cover entire screen even when using legacy console or earlier than Windows 10.

Took me a year and a half to get around to it, but I finally tried it and it works as advertised as far as I can tell. Good job!

See viewtopic.php?t=7321 for where it was used.

Thanks!

Archive update : 2 player support over network! Having this thread pop up reminded me that there was still one thing I wanted to try out: a 2 player game over network. I remembered this thread: https://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8736 by TSnake41, got ptnio.exe and pretty much copied the ...

Not too bad. I'm just going to point out that using cmdgfx_RGB (in server mode), you could fairly easily have this game: 1. without flickering 2. without the need for legacy console 3. with bitmap transparency (i.e no black background for e.g. crosses overwriting other bitmaps) 4. play at a high, co...

I am pleased to see you have taken over this madness.

Finally I can retire in peace

Archive update! Had no luck at the Wacom forum, but eventually when I looked at some more Wacom code samples I found out how to get the pressure range. The value after LEFT is now scaled to always lie within 0-32767, which means it should work for all Wacom tablets without tweaking. Also removed a ...

Archive update to version 1.1 By chance I noticed that CmdBkg left visible borders around the window in full-screen mode (Alt-Enter). I decided to fix that, as well as a few other issues. Changes in v1.1: 1. Should look correct in fullscreen mode (only tested for Win10) 2. No longer blocks if start...

Archive update! Decided to go "full circle" with this, from 16 color characters, to pixel mode, to 24 bit color pixels ( cmdrunner-pixel-RGB.bat ): https://www.dropbox.com/s/z0wwqm0c0mbtzpf/cmdrunner-RGB1.PNG?raw=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/klcu3n6vxyezatw/cmdrunner-RGB2.PNG?raw=1 During this I als...

Yes, that would work but be a bit of a pain. CmdBkg still works, but as you know it works differently (somewhat similar to what you posted but with the bitmap in its own window)

Aha... I must have missed the end of that discussion.

I thought I had used my script bmp_convert (which shows before/after results in the cmd window for convenience) rather recently without hickups, but I suppose my memory fails me...

Thanks Steffen

It used to be that it was possible (via e.g. C API) to draw/insert an image into the cmd window (which would last until the window was scrolled or refreshed). Not sure when, or with which update, but my Windows 10 no longer allows this, because it now automatically refreshes the cmd window after eac...

Good idea penpen!
