Well, for example: a drawing of the letter "P"
The trick would be to avoid creating a polygon that would cover the "hole" of the letter.
Furthermore, the OpenGL instruction I'm using only creates convex polygons.
All this taken into account, we end up with a rather demanding algorithm... :idea:

There are advantages and disadvantages.
There are a lot of files (>1) for the little I've been looking for. Additionally, we should see if your algorithm can create polygons that trace an entire area.
I'm skeptical.

And so: asking PB to create a random RandomSeed when it shouldn't, I find that comical.

Curiosity:

Hi JHP²
I'd like to get the gist of what I'm looking for. All I need for what I need is minimal.
I'd like to use your code to create an algorithm that allows me to find the points surrounding a shape.
Could you provide me with a simple code that does this?
I know my request is rather... bold, but if ...

Did I understand correctly? :
Does this code define the points around a shape?
In OpenGL, the instruction that creates polygons only creates convex polygons. Is there a way to "slice" any shape into convex polygons? (If so, that would be great for me.)
Thanks

Yes, same question: did you use a filter on a real photo of people?

Very good work!
Is the music yours?

Good opening credits and options settings. Very professional.

The mouse movements are being caught in a queue as you're only processing one OS event per frame, whereas you should be handling all of them.

Replace:

Event = WaitWindowEvent()

With:


Repeat
Event = WindowEvent()
Select Event
Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow : End
EndSelect
Until Event ...

Even with 10, 100, or even 1000, it's still intolerably slow!
What did I miss compared to the smooth codes of 10 years ago?

Hi,
How come it's so slow?
PB6.20 or lower

Hi Fred, thanks for looking (and the reason for performance).
