iOS Question coloring the custom shapes

tufanv · Aug 14, 2015

Hello,

In b4i i want to do something but i need advise on how to do it: Picture is below :

I want to create shapes like this : For example in this photo there are circle and some squares. First of all can i create shapes like this. I cant use an image because later i want to fill some sections with different colors. For example i will have to color section 5. I need an idea on how to proceed on this .

Thank you

you can use canvas... with canvas you can draw circle, rect,...

you can also draw a path but not like in your photo, if the shapes must look like in your photo, in b4i your only choice that i know is use images or you will need to use a nativobject, see this: https://developer.apple.com/library...awingPrintingiOS/BezierPaths/BezierPaths.html

Using images will not be good because i need to color each piece programatically. So it is not possible. With objective c I dont think i will be able to do it :/ .

why you cannot do it with images? just put 2 images of each part with 2 colors like white and red then if press or any other event then change only image of the piece you want to change.

i did a small project for you that use a timer to change each piece, take a look at it...

I am planning it as a part of the game that will have about 100 levels. So for each level i need many pictures:/ for that , i think i cant work with images.

I am now checking your example it seems very interesting but as i said because of the amount of different pics , it is a problem i think

it doesnot matter how many levels you have, what is importent is how many shapes you will need. if its about 10 shapes like in your example photo and about 5 different colors per shape then we are talking only about 50 images, with the right coding it will be very simple.

the second choice is to draw path and use canvas, but b4i supports only circle, rect, rect with raidius, lines..., no shapes like you have in your photo, maybe you should consider to change the game to simple shapes and then you can use canvas...

btw, i didnot use b4i for maybe a month, thanx to you i used b4i and got back the passion for it ...

working on something big now for b4a but after that b4i get ready to rumble....

You can use Path as well in B4i to draw shapes.
Dim P as Path

Add the coordinates to the path
After

Canvas.drawpath(...)

Btw the drawing the you draw is also achievable with panel also

Attached small project with a layout which shows how to achieve your issue with panels.

Ilan, you should concentrate on b4i . At first i think that appstore was a lot of trouble with reviews etc.. but now i understand that it is much much better than the google play store.
