I checked out Exotica's latest version and I must say that those demos = were very impressive! You've done great job, Todd, but one question:=20 is it possible to write the whole screen = once(put_pixel{x,y,Sequence_of_colors})?=20 and another: is put_pixel{x,y,color} as fast as ScrBuffer[place]=3Dcolor = where ScrBuffer is sequence in main program. if put_pixel is much slower = then I'd rather write the whole screen once. But, if it's almost or as = fast then I could write pixels directly without using any buffer in my = main prog. I also found out that David has a new project attached to win32lib: = Design. I sure hope your going to develop that VisualBasic look-a-like I = was talking some time ago! One suggestion tough: Why not read and write .exw files instead of those "project files". = After all, there's only one file when executing, right? If using .exw = files it would be easy for users to edit them with other editors. I = quess it will also be easier to develop new versions of Design and = follow euphoria's new versions if using .exw Well, the problem here is, I quess again, is that you need to store some = *special* data, which is used by Design. This could be done with comment = lines in the end of the file... f.ex. --this file has been done or modified with David Cuny's Design. --Please do not change the following lines as it might do some harm when = modifying this file again --with Design --*the special data comes here* --Tapani
