Full Description

Learn to Grab and create an image to be used as a texture without any external media.

DarkBASIC Professional Source Code

` This code was downloaded from The Game Creators

` It is reproduced here with full permission

` http://www.thegamecreators.com

`In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to create images with no media.

`The same techniques learned here, can be used for things like capturing screenshots in game.

`See the below part about our function to understand this line.

cls `Clear the screen

MakeImage(256,256,255,1)

sync on : sync rate 60  `Setup our refresh rate

make object plain 1,1,1 `Make our object

texture object 1,1      `Texture our object

yrotate object 1,object angle y(1)+1 `We rotate the object for viewing purposes

sync

loop

`This is our function. A function is a custom command that you can make.

`You define the parameters as you see below. MakeImage is like our keyword

`sizex,sizey, Random,and ImageNum are our integer's we use for the function. It's just like a

`normal command.

function MakeImage(sizex,sizey,Random,ImageNum)

cls                           `Clear the screen to make sure everything is dark

for x= 0 to sizex        `We start a for-next statement to go from x to the sizex we defined above.

for y= 0 to sizey

dot x,y,rgb(0,rnd(Random),0) `This is where we'll make random colored dots for our image.

next x                        `End our for-next statement here.

next y

`Now we grab our image from the screen and it's saved for later

`use.

`If you really wanted to save it, check out the 'save image'

`command.

get image ImageNum,0,0,sizex,sizey

endfunction
