While I continue to slowly explore PB/Cheetah as a Clipper replacement (am satisfied with results so far - due to the the gracious help of forum experts! ), I would also like to explore animated graphics.
I use and enjoy Dream Aquarium and Sach's Marine Aquarium screensavers and would like to experiment with graphics to build a SIMPLE aquarium as a learning model. Can anyone point me to applicable (starter level) graphics code for a fish compatible with PB? My knowledge of graphics (except for some charting/plotting) is limited and I feel this may be a good way to start...........
Since submitting the above post, I've been searching the internet and forums for PB/3-D scenerios. I expect that PB has the basic capability to serve as a learning platform, but I cannot find any detail documentation.
I also cannot find any useful graphics tutorials for a beginner to use with PB, so would really appreciate recommendations for an alternative set of tools for entry level 3-D graphics using basic.
if you want to have a simple start, start with 2D grafix.
have a look at the 2D gaming chapter in the help.
draw fishes with PAINT or anything, load them into your program and display them as sprites.
> to build a SIMPLE aquarium as a learning model.
stick to 2D in every case.
simulating animals in 2D is hard enough.
simulating animals in 3D and making the grafix for it is everything else but a beginners project,
it's a project for a professional team of programmers and designers.
