Greetings
use_vesa() is helpful in dealing with the area of negation you =
mentioned. I had the same problem when I started working with Euphoria.
I'm not sure what you meant about having pictures going together without =
a coloured outline. Could you mean an idea I borrowed from Jiri Babor or =
David Cuny about overlaying images on top of each other by using a =
masking technique?
Let me know
David

Hello,
As the above title suggests I am completely new to programming. And =
so, have found it very confusing. I have a few questions that I'd =
consider stumpers, while the seasoned programmer would probably find =
these really simple:
The problemis the Bitmap scene. There seems to be an 'Area of =
negatation' somewhere on my screen. I'll show you what I mean:=20
include graphics.e
include image.e
include get.e
integer gmode
gmode=3Dgraphics_mode(256)
sequence run,vp
vp=3Dread_bitmap("vp.BMP")
display_image({1,60}, (vp[2]))
run=3Dread_bitmap("run.BMP")
display_image({1,1}, (run[2]))
=20
Those are the commands (obviously!) but the image is cut off after =
about (#, 60). Which stumps me. Of course I'm not the world's leading =
programmer so a lot of things stump me! So here are the questions:
1. Why are my pictures being cut off?
2. Why can't I have two images that are 256 colour and have the proper =
colours? all_palette only works on one or the other not both.
3. (David) Mr. Gay's Guide to Programming said I could have pictures =
that go thogether without a coloured outline aroud them.
How does that work?
4.How could I have the mouse to click on a certain area and have it do =
something?
Something like:=20
(if mouse_scroll=3D(12,30)
puts(1,"Hey, your mouse is at 12,30) =20
end if
Or=20
(if mouse_scroll=3D(12,30)
(LEFT_CLICK)
puts(1,"Hey, your mouse is at 12,30) =20
end if
=20
And finally I'd like to know how to play WAVs and MID (midis).=20
