What do you think? That should be more than dynamic enough to take on menus Razz

TheStorm, you DO realize that I posted 3 screenies to show how dynamic the borders were, right? Cause for the menu in the originals, you could select certain normal moves, and all HM moves from within that lil box...

Why do the boxes have to be so wide? You're not going to have any 18 character HM moves, are you?

Like he said, he just wants to demonstrate the possibility.

Can you pause more in the beginning so we can see what variables are being changed?

You can erase large areas faster with the text command and some spaces.

It's in the first frame of the image. Right click, Copy Image, paste into MS Paint.

Ah. Thanks.
C=distance from left
D=height
I think. Cool screens.


Hey, Weregoose changed his pieces back to the old set and his avatar to an [s]owl[/s] hawk. And now it says "Do not click..."

I converted the pieces to an image because some people didn't
have the right fonts installed to see it properly, and it's a hawk.

But we're on topic. :biggrin:

yeah, C == width, D == height. And I would not be able to make the erasing part as dynamic if I tried to use Text... :/

[post="107494"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]

Since you know the position and width and height of the menu you can easily do it by running a loop between those values as long as you use an appropriate increment.

You can fill a string of spaces for the width with a similar loop. Add 5 (or 10 or whatever gives the best speed vs size trade-off) spaces each iteration and the remaining 1-4 to match screen-C.

//fill spaces for width erase
substr(" ",1,5fPart(.2(94-C //5 * after decimal part of (width of menu / 5) = remaining pixels after the following loop:
For(I,1,int(94-C //rough fill to (width of screen / 5.0)
Ans+" //5 spaces
End
//fill screen with text to erase for menu
For(J,58,D,-int(D/5 //assuming text space erases 5 pixels per line I forgot could be 6?
Text(J,C,Ans
End

Then do a final Text(D,C," //spaces to correct for rounding in the iteration amount.

I mean, a menu will always be at least the size of one Text outputted space, right?

I used to use text in the past for other things, and it looked too... jerky, I guess would be the right word.

And besides, while that looks cool, and is probably functional, it would be slower than just having the for loop with a line erasing.

I think it might be moderately faster depending on the size of the menu, but it probably takes up more code. I say just go with the line method if that is what you prefer.

To make it look cooler you could draw the boarder as you erase with the line command. so it would be
Code:
 :line(A,B,94,A,0
:pxl-on(A,B
:pxl-on(A+2,B
:pxl-on(92,B
:pxl-on(94,B

and then draw the top and bottom of the boarder out side of the loop.

While it would be cooler, I would have to *technically* have it draw the first 3 lines, and maintain that as it went up, which would slow it down alot! x.x For the time being, the way it is set up would be the best way to do it, not counting the fact the smallest way to do it.

yeah, working on that right now :P

I had the sudden realization that I will also have to have the other, shorter text move to the left as well for the words with more than 5 letters... -.-

Oh what fun...
