Wooooo Hoooooo

Check out the code!

I have worked with this enough to know that it "seems" like it's working at least as well as it did before.

There are minimal new features, but some of the old features actually work now.

The TUI is much better. BUT.......

I would be most grateful for getting feedback from as many users as possible.

I'd like to make a structured list of ever function in the LaserBoy menu system; not just to make sure it works properly, but also to explain what it does and how to use it.

Anyway........

I hope you like the new version. I will try to keep up with regular incremental updates like I did before.

 Well, the wav & bmp rendering code are now broken (I suspect you waited all this time and did it on purpose to see if anyone would notice)

[James]

OMG! You broke it already?

James. 

[BlinkenLights]

it seems faster on some  things so far..

[James]

I have already found and fixed quite a few bugs in the menu system. I'm still looking for the bmp rendering issue and the problem with optimizing when outputting wave animations.

Oh well.

I knew it would have problems.

This still has a problem with outputting optimized wave animations, but there are many other things that have been fixed.

It now properly saves bitmaps of the frames; but it will not overwrite a file name that already exists and it screws up the image if the X resolution isn't divisible into whole 32 bit chunks. These are known issues.

Please look for and identify anything else you can find that does not work!

Thanks!

I'm already working on 06-23!

laserboy still crashes when i try to do anything to an empty frame..

[James]

Could you be a bit more specific?

James. 

[BlinkenLights]

yes..
j 8 open empty frame in k (draw)
backspace, backspace

[James]

OK. Cool. Thanks.

I'm in the code right now.

Just fixed a couple of things and I'm going in for more!

If you don't hear from me soon, send in the rescue team.

I have a feeling that the laundry folding routine is going to be a real bitch.

Oh well.... As long as it doesn't require any rodents.

James. 

[James]

Here! Try this one!

It still crashes if you delete all the vertices in a frame, but a lot of other things got fixed.

James.

I Sofa King Nailed It!

Now it doesn't crash when you delete all the verticies in a frame.

James.   

[BlinkenLights]

finally fixed.. ok im compiling FLTK for visual studio express 2008

  It looks like wave rendering is back online!

[meandean]

  Testing BMP rendering further... As to the write protect bit problem, I've noticed that most graphic apps will not load
an LB BMP if LB is still running due to a sharing violation; it looks like the BMP file is not being properly closed after
generation.
