I'm close to revisiting Spaghetti Live aka Wet Noodles aka Pasta Shooter. It's been a rough couple of years with two new jobs, two moves, and a house I have been restoring. But things are beginning to gel so we'll see what comes out of it.

True!

The black square with the image you see is a custom control that I created. It contains most of the intelligence for displaying and creating new drawings. I also created the palette/color selector on the right. The left side of the screen is just a canned listbox and toolbar with some event handlers.

It's basically a 2D drawing utility. The goal is to be able to easily create simple content. If you look on the screen shot I posted it allows drawing ellipses, straight lines, beziers, rectangles, and points in a similar fashion that you would expect from a typical Windows based drawing application. It will send live output to a projector and utilizes the same output engine that is in Spaghetti so it supports several DACs and allows defining multiple projectors. So, if you had 3 projectors hooked up to your computer you could switch the image between them with just a mouse click. It loads and saves ILDA files and also Doodle files. Doodle files are my own shaped based vector format and it will evolve to be something very exciting but I will save the details for when it is a reality and not just hype. The ILDA and Doodle files look nice when using Spaghetti optimizations. I have a little work to do to make them look nice outside of Spaghetti. I am attaching an ILDA file that I quickly created by tracing a background image that you might recognize. I am sure that with LaserBoy! you can optimize it to look good on your software. The most exciting features are yet to come but at least at this time I am pleased to announce and show that the framework is much alive and working. At this time it is free to Spaghetti owners who have dongles. Otherwise it isn't available. We'll see how it goes.

The ********** thing was the decision of the LPF admin. He did that awhile back. I support his decision.
I do support Spaghetti.

I have a linelist shape which is made of any number of lines and/or beziers. I don't know a lot about DXF splines but I probably will before it's over.

It is only at version 0.0.4.0 so features are minimal. I won't go into what it can't do since that it subject to change on a daily basis. What I can say is that it took about 5 minutes to create the above drawing by tracing a background image. The native file format for my application is "Doodle" which I created on my own and have talked about on this forum and others. It is 100% shape based and users do not even have to think about points or vectors or anything to do with laser output when drawing. It took about 50 shapes to draw the above image (2 circles for the eyes and a bunch of curves). ILDA files are all supported.

I don't want to talk about it. I haven't given it a second thought.

How did I explain it? I said Format 3 has the points and the colors. I also said it takes two frames. One with colors and the other with points. That's ALL I said about it. It's been probably 2 yrs since I implemented it so I was slightly off. But, the colors in Format 3 DO HAVE TO MATCH, IN ORDER AND IN QUANTITY, the coordinates of the 0/1 Frame. The Format 3 frame does not contain coordinates, but "Format 3" as an entity does. Because it requires Format 0/1 to complete it. If you mean that is a complete set, then I guess it is. But it is a completely stupid set. What is the point of creating something stupid that is difficult to use. If it weren't so retarded I probably wouldn't have mistakenly spoke about it. That's what it is all about. That's why it was dropped. Only you in your rigidness think it is a good idea. If anyone else felt the same way, they would be doing it, too. It's just you. You're the only one stupid enough to me jacking around with Format 3. You are the only one stupid enough to write an application that uses 1980s text fonts and only accepts keyboard input. Dude, you can't even get auto-complete to work. You're such a fool. You're the emperor with no clothes. Look, lets face it; you wear a fanny pack. How can anyone take you seriously? It's just wrong. You're wrong. Intelligent people don't do that. Gay people are known for good fashion sense. I don't even think you are gay. I think you are just pretending to be just like you are pretending to be a software engineer. You're nothing.

PS if you still dont think I understand format 3, go ahead and find the oldest (or newest) copy of Spaghetti you can. Then find a real Format 3 files, not one of your weird ones, and watch Spaghetti open it. If I didn't understand it, I wouldn't have been able to implement it. The proof is has been in code for years. PSS Fanny Pack

Actually, I didn't realize you were gay. I just thought you had no fashion sense.
