Title: Rastar disaster
Post by: gooner on July 18, 2008: Hi everybody heres another attempt at doing raster bars this time from scratch.I've gone through it to make sure theres no bugs in it this time and taken all your advice on board from the last one i tried.I'd appreciate feedback on how it runs and how it looks.Please be honest with me if you see problems then tell me as this will only help me in my future development.Telling me everything is fine when its not will be counter productive.
Even though i don't know you guys i will take any critism the right way.
Thanks for your continued support.
:cheers:

Post by: zawran on July 18, 2008: You have not posted an image of what it should look like, but here is one grab of how it looks on my computer.

I am not sure, if thats how its supposed to look like, but when its running it does seem like there might be some glitches, the blueish color seem to be moving from left to right, and the effect on the top looks more filled out when in motion than on a screenshot. I hope that helps.

Well done Gooner, you're getting better :)

Post by: benny! on July 19, 2008: Nice one. Runs smooth - looks a bit distorted somehow though.
But I like it. Keep it up!

Post by: Jim on July 21, 2008: My boss at RISC always used to call my 3d routines Turbo Rastas. You could tell he meant it to be O0 not the actual programming kind.

I think on some laptops you have to press FN+PrntScr

Post by: Shockwave on July 22, 2008: Or google "irfanview"

When irfanview is installed, run irfanview go to "options", "Capture/Screenshot" and that works pretty well.

You can set the hot key and run your program and then get a screen grab.
