Did you change anything in the way boxes (and their borders) are rendered?  Because now the boxes don't look 3D like they did. sad.gif

Well, I cleaned up the way boxes, lines and text are rendered.

Perhaps I can add something to make it render them "anti-aliased" and off-center again. wink.gif

Now if you could trigger .wma or .wav files from actionscripts.... TETRIS would be complete. I have copies of the original GameBoy TETRIS music in .wma format, if you could tigger or incorporate the .wma into the actionscript, that would be awsome...

Cool cool. Now all geniusalz need to do is add some different modes.
For example
A Normal mode where theres levels and each one has more and more lines you have to get to before you get to the next level (like the real tetris)
A Black and White mode where all the pieces are the same color

Just some ideas.

It might actually be a day or two, though.... today is a birthday, and I've worked a late day.

Yes.... you should be able to re-use handles, but keep in mind that the Action Draw list is rendered in a multitasked thread, so you either have to switch to another list without the image, or use a second handle and swap back and forth.


You could do things like change the image after so many lines (Strip Tetris, just like in the Japanese arcades...)

Well, 1180 adds more goodies.


LoadSound <Handle> <File>
....Loads a sound resource to be played
CloseSound <Handle>
....Closes sound resource, handle is available for reuse.
PlaySound <Handle>
....Play sound from sound resource handle
LoadDialogFromXML <UIHandle> <XMLHandle> <XMLLocation>
....Load a dialog from the node indicated


I haven't tested, so use this version at your own risk. wink.gif

Should also fix that "desc" -> "descr" issue with context items.

Switch to another list without the image? uhh.gif
I get the part about the second handle
