More fun than the law should allow :) (still more GS programing quirks)
Thanks everyone for the help. Now that finals are over I think I have spent 2
days straight programing... (I do need to locate the compile code for GNO so I
don't have to use orca, but that is a different story)
My latest complaint is starting quickdraw....
the startgraph and startdesk macros that orca provide seem to work fine.
however I have yet to get QDStartUp to do any more than bomb the machine.
yes I am using memory manager.. yes I am getting 3 pages of memory from
newhandle. I have even copied the code from HodgePodge (barf gag) and have yet
to get it to work..
my other latest complaint is getting a program to quit :) (sad but true)
I have used the FWEntry routine succesfully (FINALLY, MUCH THANKS) to read the
joystick and place a spot on the screen...(using startgraph to get things
going) then loop through reading the joystick until a key is pressed on the
keyboard. Real easy.. this code works fine.. and endgraph shuts things down
nicely.
BUT THEN...
I added some code that scrolls stars across the screen in the background. Real
easy also.. But now the code won't stop. when a key is pressed the screen
clears to text and the machine does nothing.. I just see the cute orca screen
with no prompt and my last command.... I have not started any new tools, there
is no system crash it just hangs.
the stars scroll nicely though :)
Thanks..
