my first app -paint

Maybe you could put some darker green in it, so you got a brighter and a darker green. The RGB Value is: 32,138,39 . I tried it on the player, looks pretty good to me.

Added to the last space of palette 2.

Now I need 5 more colors for palette 3. And I'm wondering if we could perhaps sort the list in some logical way before I add them so I don't have to re-arrange all the program lines to get a good layout of the colors. It'll look scrambled if I just add colors to the end of the list.

[Idroy]

Hmm, would be nice to order them in logical way. But I don't know in what sort of order. Like all the greens next to each other, and all the red colors (red, pink... etc) next to each other...etc. etc.

Couple of suggestions:
- Fill tool
- Option to change the background colour (As in not just black or white)

from the darkest to the brightest

That would be nice. I am not sure if my knowledge of LUA and the code is enough to do it, but I might give it a shot after I've fixed the color palette. Otherwise I have to leave that up to cilmaviel who's better than me at this =P

[Idroy]

Still need some colors?

Mint Blue: 17, 250 , 238
Sort of Navy Blue: 8, 79, 115
Dark Purple: 97, 0, 133
Greenish Blue: 0, 186, 152
Grey: 128, 126, 126

I think that will be enough :P. Hope you like them :P

Edit: I'm not really sure about the purple btw, you might already have it implemented.

i'll check them out, and if the purple is too similar I'll exclude it =P

And I wonder if there is an automatic "color sorter" on the net where I can enter the rgb and it tells me what order they should be.

Edit: I might just sort them after which colors seem to fit well next to each other =P As it is now the first is with the main colors, then the others could be just with other colors that are similar. So it'd all be according to my taste in colors xD It's the quickest way, but it wouldn't be "by the book". What do you say?

Sounds good enough for me .

I thought I'd make a release of the V 1.7 with only two color menus, so you people can try it out already.

Keep in mind, my release isn't an "official" new paint version unless Cilmaviel makes it one.

Known issues:
Often flickers when you try to exit and might require you to press the button twice.

Tested it, works like a charm

sure,this can be the official version for 1.7, it works great. if you are working on even more colors, might i suggest one for shades of green, one for shades of blue and so on. i am working on a way to save the background so a drop down can be used but i think still having the colors would be good for those that are not used to using rgb sliders.

Yes, I was thinking about something like that. To have the first menu with the "basic" colors. Then one for shades of every of those basic colors.
But the problem is how I should decide on what other colors to use, like purple, brown, orange. In what categories should I sort those, they are mixtures of the colors, not just a different shade of it.

It would be amazing if there was a color wheel or RGB sliders. I don't really have a preference between the two. But since that would require figuring out how to save the screen, I have a suggestion on how to organize colors on the current layout. You could resize the buttons for each color so 7 (and a "next" button) would all fit on the left. I don't think it would make it too small to still select with your finger. Then you could put red orange yellow green blue purple and black/white on the screen all at once and the next palette of colors could be lighter and darker shades.

[CleverBullet]

It appears to me when painting on screen i am able to temporarily able to paint on the ui before it redraws the menu elements and goes away. there might be a way to prevent this with some sort of collision detection for the ui borders. just a suggestion.

I think RGB sliders is a great idea and will be the most space-saving implementation of colour selection, it'd also be easy to calculate.

With that, you could do away with the colour palette and have just background and foreground colour, with the ability to switch between them at the touch of a screen button.

EDIT: I have created an initial colour slider library. I will be improving the display, graphics, etc. in time. You can take a look at the development thread here; http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum...ad.php?t=53044. Alternatively you can check out the finished version, here; http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum...ad.php?t=53079

EDIT2: Would it be possible to convert the pixel colour value rgb to hex using string.format("%x", colour_here) and then storing all those pixel values in a .lua file, seperated by commas? That might be an easy way to operate temporary storage, although I guess it depends on the X-Fi2's file reading speed. Every operation would have to be written to the temporary file.

On another note, it would be awesome to have a zoom function somewhere in the future so that pixel art would be easier to do on the touch screen.

can you make a save - load function 4 this app plzz

where is the code for the saving version if anyone has some ideas for optimization
http://www.mediafire.com/?jj2qdnii2gn
to save, hold down the home button

so instead of a save ill work on other things to add, i should have a new version soon unless i hit any problems.

I have done a save/load that's working using this version. (still some small bugs)
It's using some bits-tweaking, cause you only need four bits to store up to sixteen colours, an 50*240 array instead of 400*240

what shall i do with the code?

[jbob182]

It is possible to save with the player, using something quite similar to Pingus' engine. If you are intersted, i can implement a save feature.

[Habhome]

Yes, please do implement one (Seeing as Cilmaviel is not around, and I've been on the project I decide I can give you permission, being a mod helps my authority as well xD)
