PureBasic Forums - English

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.

Can anyone point me to applicable (starter level) graphics code for a fish compatible with PB?

How does "graphic code" for an animal look like?

I'm sure I'm not framing my question right. Just want to study graphics using basic rather than C++.

@nicksteel

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.

or maybe even Comtois or Psychophanta

cheers

Thanks for the reference . As my interest is more in understanding some of the methods, their posts are very interesting.

Unfortunately, following a Comtois post leads me to:

I cannot get the above to display if the English option is turned on.

Yes English version does not exist, there should be created. If somebody is voluntary , Wiiki allows to do it.

and herea small example 3D.
