<?> [AS] Paint 0.1

Bman22 · 09-18-2009, 07:34 PM

When I saw the rather simple etch-a-sketch application for the Zune HD, I liked the idea, but it didn't have quite enough control for me, so I decided to make my own. So, I present the alpha release of Paint for Zune HD.

Game Name:
Paint

Creator:
Bman22

Version:
0.1.0.0

Description:
A simple Paint program for Zune HD. You can choose the color of the first touch's line in the menu, and the other 3 lines are just black. Use the C in the lower left to clear the screen. Currently, when you open the Menu, the current drawing is lost.

License:
Open Source

To Do:
Add ability to change all line's color
Add more colors
Fix the issue of current drawings being erased by menu opening

I also plan on allowing for connecting the zunes and sharing a drawing canvas

This is my first XNA program, so the code may be overcomplicated, and I have not put any comments, but feel free to make changes.

looks good, I think something else that would be cool would be like a line thickness tool

this is wicked. four games in a two or three day period only a day or so after the zune hd comes out. WHOOP!

I am working on implementing that right now. should be done in a couple of hours. You will have a the current 1x1 pixel brush, a 2x2, and a 4x4 for the time being, i plan on adding circular and other irregular shapes to that list later

Wow this is impressive! Thanx!

I had run into having a small bug with bigger lines due to how the lines are drawn, but i managed to fix it, so i am skipping from alpha v0.1 to v0.2.1. Here are the links

Another small bug is the game will not recognize the size selection if you press directly over the text (I have no clue why), so you must click anywhere directly left or right of the wanted size.

great. youre making progress. take a look at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation zune's paint app to check for any good ideas to throw in there. that app basically had everything a paint app needed.

GAWD I can't DL this one either. Everything just closes.

I hate my computer.

lilborat724 · 09-20-2009, 07:31 AM

Great app! Wish I had seen the update version! xD

ConnerWoods · 09-20-2009, 10:04 AM

Hey great app, and imma let you finish, but gracelessrob had one of the best paint apps of all time.

Taboo · 09-20-2009, 10:09 AM

You know you can take screenshots with XNA?

Just open "XNA Game Studio Device Center"
Right click on the Zune you are debugging on
and click "Take Screenshot".

Bman22 · 09-20-2009, 10:54 AM

yah, i just figured that out. i shall replace those ones in a little while.

wetbe4n · 09-21-2009, 05:51 PM

does anyone know why i get this error when i deploy it to my Zune?

TouchCollection touchStateCollection = new TouchCollection();

Error 1 The type or namespace name 'TouchCollection' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\Users\...\Desktop\ZuneHDDemo\ZuneHDDemo\Game1.c s 53 9 ZuneHDDemo

Looks great! Wished they would sell Zune HDs in Canada though...

You probably haven't installed XNA 3.1 Zune Extensions for the Zune HD. You can find them
