Pixel...

How would I go about making a pixel to come up on the screen and change its color and size?

Like to make sprites or Galaga type ships?

I cant seem to use Graphics.h in windows for some reason so I need to know what procedures or downloads i need to make to accomplish my goal.

Oh come on...
Someone has to know this!!!

So, you're using Win32 API? You can't change the size of a pixel, it is always a pixel. If you want to output one use the function SetPixelV( HDC, INT, INT, COLORREF );

something like this
SetPixelV( hdc, x, y, RGB( 255, 255, 255 ) );

The RGB is a macro you can use to determine color of a pixel. 0 - 255 for each. If you want sprites, just make them in paint as a BMP and load the image to a HBITMAP and blt it to the screen. I don't know how much you know so, just ask more questions.

NO!!!

Im doin Console Apps....

Oh sorry. Like mode 13h or something? I don't have much experience in console graphics. Sorry.

I dunno...

I just try to compi;e a normal console app and it says BGI graphics not supported under windows???????

Thx for you help anyway Mr. Wizard

You can't make a console program with graphics. You will either have to make a DOS program or a Windows program. You should check out Allegro or find out about mode13h.

As far as I know you can't use MODE 13h in win32 console mode application.

you are using borland right?

if u arent u cant compile that

anyway your compiler knows about it so u must be using borland

what u must do is to open a new project.

in the project path and name, make it so u save your file in your

bgi folder and the platform must be DOS not windows click on the

library

BGI and then click ok

i'm using borland 5.0

BGI is a Borland DOS graphics mode...if you need help with it...then personally email me and I will help you. I have experience with it.

Whats wrong...

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>
#include <graphics.h>

int GraphDriver;
int GraphMode;

int main()
{
        initgraph ( &GraphDriver, &GraphMode, "" );

  circle ( 5, 5, 10 );

  cin.get();
  return 0;
}

---

it is saved in BGI folder and itsays Make failed, and gives no reason.

Are you sure you're using Borland?

Yup

Borland C++ 5.02

I know its wierd. Could Win98 have anything to do with it?

:confused:
