Release id #76119 : MultiColour V0.1.1
These are the answers to the comments at MultiColor V0.1.1
@Majikeyric: I just saw that the color selection doesn't work correctly in the windows version. I should have tested it more carefully :/ Normally one should be able to use the right mouse button to select a secondary color and then draw with the right button.
@Ninja: I really appreciate patches as long as they fit to the zlib-License (no GPL, please) and as long as I like them =) Feel free to contact me using mail or the Berlios tools. Maybe better before you implement something to be sure the work isn't done twice.
Regarding installing it on Linux: I used a Xubuntu 8.10 live CD to test it. The package manager automatically installed libwxgtk2.8 and libwxbase2.8. However, for other distros I also recommend to build it from sources. It's easy:
1. install libwxgtk2.8-dev or whatever name it has on your system. This will hopefully also install all other dependencies like libwxbase2.8-dev
2. compile (as normal user)
cd make/gcc-default
make
3. install (optional, as root)
sudo make install
Step 3 should even create a menu entry for Gnome, KDE or Xfce. I'll add an INSTALL file in the next release.
Before adding new "high level" features I'm planning to optimize and improve the already existing ones first:
- Fix the win32 issues (secondary color, screen update, crash on exit)
- Some algorithmical optimizations of the really stupid drawing/update code
- Currently it's much slower than it should be
- Color picker (using Shift is a good idea)
- Keyboard shortcuts
- Use scroll weel to zoom
When this is done some more useful features could be added like Copy & Paste, real PAL emulation and so on.

i could be sneaky and cut out the pal emulation which i rewrote for vice, paste it into a new .c file and release it for you under a bsd license (or whatever, i dont give a damn really =P) |

Ah, the right guy read between the lines :) I think this isn't sneaky but called "dual licensing". |

it would probably be less work to simply rewrite it from scratch though (the vice rendering queue is.....horrid =D) |

That's why I asked you for some high level documentation some months ago. Because I don't want to read this code. |

@DeekaY & @Skoe, I will mail you the patch once I get home. Basically hacked the three lines in the wiki page to MCAPP::Init() or so protected by a #ifdef __APPLE__ / #endif pair.
Obviously an app bundle thingy is the proper way to do it, but for the time being it should be OK. I'm more interested in why it crashes when I try to open a load/save dialog. :)
And yeah, by "editing widget" I mean the main drawing window on the right, which is an MDI window on Mac aswell... :( |

Graham was kind to post the specs to Mirage so perhaps you also can have them... |

grahams filter lacked the odd/even line difference though ... and we have discovered how to emulate another thing (dot creep) now too (thats not even in vice yet) :)
i wouldnt mind to get those specs though, would probably save some work if i can just extend them :) |

wow, dot-creep is in there now, too?
Or do you refer to the HMOS/NMOS-bleeding of black that we discussed with Jens and Bero on TUM? 8) I don't see how that's gonna do dot-creep...
Skoe: Great! Looking forward to the patch! ;-D always ready to do beta-testing!... |

After some searching I found out that I'm not the first one who makes the file dialog crash:
Please find this line in MCMainFrame.cpp (two times):
stringFilter.append(wxT("All files (*)|*|"));
Does it still crash on MAC OS X after removing the last "|"?
Edit: This helps, got a confirmation. |
