grid
I'm working on a cellular automata program. (Conway's Game of Life) for example.
Heres a java example: http://hensel.lifepatterns.net/
click on "Enjoy Life" to launch applet.
You can see theres a grid which is clickable.
How would i go about making a grid in win32? Just draw lines and specify xy coordinates for the boxes?
the best things in life are simple.
That's it. Make a pen, and use LineTo/MoveToEx to do the drawing:
Code:for(x = startX; x < maxX; x += grid_spread){ MoveToEx(hdc, x, startY); LineTo(hdc, x, maxY); } for(y = startY; y < maxY; y += grid_spread){ MoveToEx(hdc, startX, y); LineTo(hdc, maxX, y); }
Hope that helps.
Code:#include <cmath> #include <complex> bool euler_flip(bool value) { return std::pow ( std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), std::complex<float>(0, 1) * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0) *(1 << (value + 2))) ).real() < 0; }
What if I load a bitmap of a grid. Could I still make the individual boxes clickable and fillable?
the best things in life are simple.
I would use an array of RECT's.
Then use PtInRect() and a loop using the array index to work out where has been clicked.
FillRect() Rectangle() FrameRect() ect to draw them again with the loop.
If you use a bitmap then you will have to calculate a scale based on the screen size to image size.
Code:for(i=0;i<ROWS;i++) { for(j=0;j<COLS;j++) { if(PtInRect(&(rBoardRect[i][j]),MousePoint))
