Delphi 6 Daisy
« on: October 21, 2006 »
Here is a little test app that I have been using in Delphi 6 (Win32) to get a handle on the bitmap and canvas routines. The TinyPTC for Delphi seems to have some bugs, so I decided to try the native commands. Draws a little math Daisy. Not much, but what the heck. :)

That looks really pretty rick :)
Actually it's not far off being a proper bob routine.

If you want to make the circles look more spherical, even by adding a little white highlight to them you'd be surprised at the effect :)

I tried the little highlight trick and it worked pretty well. Thanks for that, Shockwave. Gives it a bit of a spherical look. I also added some music; it is a midi file to keep the size down. Updated link in first post.

No, Delphi compiles the file as a resource. It is a midi file and uses MMsystem, so maybe it can't find your midi device.

Okay, I took out the music and updated the first post. I am not sure what is going on there.

Works again here :)

It's surprising how much of a difference that little highlight makes.

Nice one rdc :)

Delphi was one of the first languages a started to code some proper stuff with. Done a few things in it inluding pixelwise stuff. Its about even with blitz on a pixelwise level.

If you ever need some pixelwise canvas / bitmap code, dont hesitate to ask, I think it should work just the same more or less in D6, i started with D3 :)

Thanks man, I sure will. I figured since I have Delphi I might as well use it for some fun stuff. During my professional programming years, I did boring business applications using Oracle and SQL Server databases, and a bunch of local DB stuff. Now that I am semi-retired, I can do some fun stuff for a change.
