Still attempting to adapt code, but while I have this on my mind...
Doesn't this call DrawPolygons multiple times since GdkEventExpose isn't being used?

I should add, one of the performance benefits of sequences is that if you have two that are only slightly different, only the difference needs another allocation (at least that's my understanding of how Euphoria does it) and only pointers are being passed or assigned. Also sequences are technically ...

Yeah, I saw that which brings out my weird sense of humor because if it weren't for types, the code doesn't logically change. C is similar with it's header files. Both things violate my probably over broad generalization of encapsulation.

I'm a simple guy easily confused (was that four levels of ...

Shardik,

Just thinking out loud here as I adapt your code to my project.

It would seem to me that I would want a separate callback for each form. So what I believe I will do is create separate versions of WidgetExposeHandler as part of each forms file. My reasoning is so I can clear and rebuild ...

Thank you Shardik. Above and beyond.

I understand. Of course the first thing I did was test it with a non primary. It works. I'm a happy camper.

If I can find the time I really need to dig into Cairo. <strike>I suspect</strike> I'm possitive it has a lot of useful goodness in it.

That's a good ...

Alright, I've put together this little test. Question: Why is the green polygon showing up on the second form?

Originally, I had an error producing a polygon on a canvas on a second form, but I haven't reproduced it yet.

Shardik,

I believe I've found a couple of oops.

The most severe for me is that only RGB values of 0 or 255 work. Any value from 1 to 254 is treated as zero.

The second oops requires me to put together an example which will take a bit of time, but I will do so and post it here later.

What I'm doing is just having all files closed except my main file and the other one I'm working on. One instance of PureBasic is plenty since I can open a third file just for testing and it doesn't interfere with the two I already have opened.

BTW, next year I will need beta testers and later I anticipate paid hosts that start with a constellation class starship to help the weak players get started and enforce galactic law which has no silly prime directive. Would you like to get paid for playing my game? You've already demonstrated the ...

Did I mention you start the game like Christina Hendricks left Malcolm Reynolds in one episode of firefly. A firefly is a small to medium sized ship with two shuttles. Yes, they are in the game.

I don't want to be influenced by looking at other games at this point but I did see this blurb...
Space in Frontier was especially deep, with a full-scale galaxy containing 100 billion stars and several empires with their own legal systems and trading outposts. Players could choose to raid other ...

EnableExplicit is now part of my project. May god have mercy on my soul.

Thanks to this solution for polygons I have gone ahead and paid for a year of hosting. Nothing to see now, but...

I am in awe. You have no idea how grateful I am. I don't know how long, if ever, it would have taken me to stumble upon the solution. I had actually tested something close to that by moving a window over the polygon then away to see if it was persistent. Now I have to see if I would accidentally ...

The importance of this is if I can't call CreatePolygon from within a procedure it because an almost totally worthless function.

Zach, that is perfectly reasonable, so here ya go. My project has about 15 files in it already, so I've cut that down to just what's relevant (3 files which works fine before the change I will show you below.)
