1. To Insolor and those interested in dos rescue programme

Hello. Selgor here. Insolor, I think you were instrumental in getting dos rescue running "again".

I was able to salvage my euphoria folder from a part disc "crash". In the folder, I found a programme I "hashed up" from the original polygon programme. It is two distinct polygons moving around the screen. The background and each polygon change colours. Each colour is distinct i.e all colours different. Written 10 years ago.

I thought you might like to include it in your dos rescue package.

All I did was place it in the downloaded dos rescue folder.

Works on win xp .

Hello, Selgor. As far as I recall, dos rescue already has a similar demo prog "rescued" from the Eu 3.1.1 package, though without mouse event handling. Anyway I will try it in a few days and write what I think about it.

Now, the only comment. There must be task_yield() inside the empty for-loop:

for i = 1 to 3750000 do
    task_yield() 
end for 

because DOS can interrupt the program execution in order to handle some events like key presses or mouse clicks, while the dos rescue can't (for the current implementation). So a program must yield the execution to the event handling loop, except in loops with dos_rescue:get_key() or get_mouse() calls (because they do task_yield() itself).

Selgor, I see there are two polygons in your program. It is possible to make nearly unlimited number of polys using a sequence of them.

Another thing is that there should be `include mouse_rescue.ew` instead of `include mouse.e` to use a mouse. mouse_rescue.ew contains routines equivalent to the ones from the mouse.e, except they are working in the windows environment. And even more, get_mouse() form the mouse_rescue.ew catches mouse wheel events.

I plan to make documentation for dos rescue, but unlikely I'll do this soon.

Btw, lately I've uploaded dos_rescue for Euphoria 4.* Win32 platform to bitbucket.org: https://bitbucket.org/insolor/dos_rescue

The package can be downloaded from the following link: https://bitbucket.org/insolor/dos_rescue/get/tip.zip

The main changes are:

• dropped Eu3 support (allows to use `override` in order use overrided builtins without explicit namespace qualifier i.e. without `dos_rescue:`)
• added full screen simulation mode (toggle with alt+enter)
• proportional zoom when the window is maximized and in the full screen mode (when possible)
• some minor improvements

Possible further improvements:

• True color (24bpp) support
• Multithreading to avoid explicit task_yield() calls. Although as I recall currently Euphoria interpreter isn't thread safe, so this is not easy to do.

I think it's possible to create separate include file compatible with EU3. Anyway this has very low priority for me.

for i = 1 to 3750000 do
    task_yield() 
end for 

In DOS age the common practice was to make pause with empty loops.

The problem here is that dos rescue library has a background task that handles windows' messages to the main window procedure. To allow the window response on events the main task must yield execution to the background task from time to time (at least every 100ms), so it's highly recomended to add task_yield() explicitly to such empty loops. Loops like `while get_key()<0 do end while` do not need task_yield() because the dosrescue's get_key() calls task_yield() itself:

override function get_key() 
-- override Euphoria built-in 
-- get next character sent to graphics window 
    integer c 
    if not window_ready then 
        return eu:get_key() 
    else 
        task_yield() 
        if length(char_buff) = 0 then 
            c_proc(Sleep,{delay}) 
            return -1 
        else 
            c = char_buff[1] 
            char_buff = char_buff[2..$] 
            return c 
        end if 
    end if 
end function

for i = 1 to 3750000 do
    task_yield() 
end for 

I agree with you. task_yield() inside an empty loop is rather a solution for legacy code. For windows the better way is a for-loop with a few iterations and with sleep(0.1) and task_yield() in it, eg. 5 second pause:

for i = 1 to 50 do 
    task_yield() 
    sleep(0.1) 
end for

In Euphoria tasks do not switch automatically (even so called realtime tasks). Every task (counting the main one) must explicitly task_yield() to allow the task scheduler consider which task will run next. Examine a small example. You can see both tasks are realtime, but anyway there is task_yield() in the main loop. Try to remove it, and the tasks will not run at all.

Hello Andreas.

Selgor here.

Happy holidays to you and your family.

Andreas , you may do whatever with the programme.

Just let me know where to find it .

I have taken a copy of the programme in this thread, just to see what it now does.

Go for it !.

Cheers. Selgor.

Andreas . Selgor here.

I was wondering ?? . In euwingui. What is the code for the background colour of the window?.

I have used each of the following in previous progammes.

setWindowBackColor(Win,Yellow).

constant canvas = create( Pixmap, "", 0, 0,0, 1, 1, 0 ).

setBackColor(canvas, Parchment).

bk_color(kolr).

And.

This one is new to me .

SetPic(backpic,Picture,blackback).

So, I wonder if you can help ??.

I can't seem to find similar code in the euwingui.ew.

Look forward to a solution.

Cheers.

Selgor.

Hello Andreas. Selgor here.

Below is the new programme. Background colour changes. All works fine.

Again , Thank You.

It is your programme anyway.

I hope you will let me "borrow" it.

All the best for the future.

Hallo

Just one thing, in colour() canvas is the handle to the Bitmap not a color, kolr is the backgroundcolor. But as you see, in this case (24-Bit colors, about 16,7 Million Colors) it is not very important to check for equal colors.
