Yeah, it has its ups and downs. I've only found it useful for Lua, but I definitely prefer Visual Studio to any other editor I've used, though.

I have ported my soft body blobs to javascript in order to get some HTML5 Canvas practice. Rotation and drawing styles were a bit confusing, because everything is on the same layer you have to use a stack to push and pop drawing styles and rotation values. The faces are now drawn procedurally and I added some sounds (mp3 only, no ogg yet). You can take a peek a the code with right-click > view source.

Controlls are the same as the Flash version:
Ctrl = add blob
Arrow keys = move blob
Click blob to split
Click and drag blobs around
Space shows spring stucture.

Nicely done! Very entertaining.

Using 2010 on this computer, but I have 2012 available on another box.

I've made some progress, though there seem to be some issues with rendering images. I played around with my panning code and out came a beautifully smooth panning/dragging functionality. Here's all the code:

Code Select Expand


// prevLoc is a global Point, _image is the PictureBox
if (_image.Image != null)
            {
                Point diff = new Point(MousePosition.X - prevLoc.X, MousePosition.Y - prevLoc.Y);
                if (_drag)
                {
                    _image.Location = new Point(_image.Location.X + diff.X, _image.Location.Y + diff.Y);
                }

                prevLoc = MousePosition;
            }


Have you heard of SublimeText? They actually have a primitive version of IntelliSense with variable name completion that works for Lua.

The only way I could see getting that to work is adding every identifier or block of text that is not in the list of language clauses and control structure keywords and not a string, but then you have to take into account lexical scope and it could get a bit messy from there. I haven't poked around with how IntelliSense works, but it may be easier than I'm thinking.

What was your first contact with the demoscene? Or are you just interested in programming in general?

Anyway - thanks for your introduction - welcome on board.

I'm just interested in programming in general.

Using a panel sounds a lot more manageable than what I have going right now. Here's a PasteBin of the current UserControl code I have right now: Zoomer.cs. And here is the form code: ImageForm.cs.

I will play around with using a panel and PictureBox and see if I can make any progress. I'll let you know if I get anything working.

Hi all,

I'm starting to build more advanced WinForms programs and one of them is an image viewer that I hope to maintain a lighter interface than Windows Photo Viewer.

I have animations for UI elements done, and have plans set out for the rest of the application's features.

I am stuck, though, on the actual image display portion. I could not find any useful code snippets on the web for adding a zooming functionality that can easily be programatically controlled, so I decided to write one from scratch.

I don't have much experience with matrices as that seems to be the obvious solution, so I've come up with a nasty hack where the image fills up the control's client space and resizes the control by a zoom factor controlled by a property all based on the image's size.

I guess what I'm looking for are some tips on more effective ways of getting a zooming functionality. If need be I can post screenshots of the application and/or bits of code.

Thank you very much! This works great; if only it was easier to create IntelliSense support for such a loosely typed language.

I had seen the 2010 version plugin and was hopeful it would work, but here I am! Great work!

Hiya,

I go by Epik, but also Andrew because that's my name. I program primarily in C#, but am taking a college course in JavaScript and plan on taking more in the future. I have a little experience in Lua, have a couple years in CSS and HTML, and have begun to dawdle in SQL, LINQ, and useage of XML. I plan on a career in software development and am working on getting internships for added resume points and experience.

I'm a big gamer and I play Xbox and PC primarily.
