All drawing is done straight to the screen, to allow the OS to read it would limit the number of colors from over 200,000 to under 20 However I've created a ReadPixel function that will return the color of a pixel at a location. I may add a tilemap routine in the future. Here's an updated list of functions that work with the IViewer library:

N 0=Initialize(X version)
N 1=DrawImage(X x, Y y, R var[0-8], Str1-9 image name)
N 2=FillScreen(R red, X green, Y blue , T screen (0=full,1=left,2=right))
N 3=CopyBackground(X x, Y y, R id [0-4], T Size[8,16,32])
N 4=PasteBackground(X x, Y y, R id [0-4], T Size[8,16,32])
N 5=WriteText(X x, Y y, T char color, R background color, str0 text)
N 6=HideScreen()
N 7=ShowScreen()
N 8=LowRes()
N 9=HighRes()
N 10=LowColorMode()
N 11=FullColorMode()
N 12=InvertScreen()
N 13=SwitchScreen()
N 14=OSDefaultScreen()
N 15=ClearHomeScreen()
N 16=GetVersion()-returns version in Ans
N 17=ReadPixel(X x, Y y)-returns R red, X blue, Y green
N 18=ScrollScreen(X value)
N 19=VarToText(R value)-returns the variable as a text string in str0

Here's a video demonstrating the copy an paste background functions:


I've seen a couple games being developed with it and they're look pretty good. Once its complete I may start a competition to see what it can do. I really need to finish it so I can get back to making some games!

Wow I missed this, this looks actually fast, particularly filling the screen. Tilemaps would most likely be fast enough with Iviewer.

By the way, this doesn't use any parser hook, right? Can Iviewer games still be used even if DCSE is installed? With the original xLIB APP for monochrome calcs, there were many complaints because xLIB hooks screwed with Symbolic and Omnicalc.

awesome as usual!

I'm going to try to have it acknowledge the millis frame request if it can keep up. Complex/fast animations will lag behind probably. I wish I had an on calc demo but I have to rewrite most of the app to get it to work. The converter itself is almost ready though. I should be putting more work into it but I think of games faster than I can make them

Be happy while you still are that way, eventually you'll run out of ideas

Yeah, I know that right.

Awesome job, dude!
