[Release] GuitarGod's position finder

[GuitarGod1134]

Ok first off this is not a game so dont reply to me any complaints.
This is mainly for devs who are developing games and want to print things to the screen or blit things like that bla bla. What it does is you have a little green dot and you can move it anywhere on the screen. The x and y coordinates will be displayed on the screen. There are no extra files so just take the folder Position Finder and pop it in the lua applications folder. And run it.
Im pretty sure the x coordinate is the width and the y is the height so if I am right lol
The height is printed on the top and the width is printed below that. Like I said i find this very useful to devs and stuff but if you dont like it thats cool just thought Id put something out to help the devs lol. Ummm what else to say... O idk if this works with the psp but it ran perfectly on windows lua player so I guess it should work. Also if it doesnt work your all devs so im sure you can fine the problem lol

EDIT: Yah um.. Snake.lua was thrown in there thats a long story im pretty sure thats the same .lua file as the index.lua so u can just ignore it.

It seems useful to me.

[GuitarGod1134]

O and just ignore snake.lua i think its the same thing/
EDIt : ya like i said i think its useful but if u dont thats cool

[Anti-QuickJay]

It doesnt seem very useful for me, But dont get me wrong, It can be useful for others.

do you use joystick or pad control? sorry havent looked at it as it's something that would only take 5 seconds to write up for me even then all you have to do is open up paint and expand the window to 480 x 272 and it well tll you your x/y cood

[TacticalPenguin]

Hmm, im gonna write my own right now.

green = Color.new(0,255,0)
dot = { x = 0, y = 0, i = Image.createEmpty(1,1))
dot.i:clear()
while true do
pad = Controls.read()
screen:clear()
if pad:up() and dot.y > 0 then dot.y = dot.y - 1 end
if pad:down() and dot.y > 271 then dot.y = dot.y + 1 end
if pad:left() and dot.x > 0 then dot.x = dot.x - 1 end
if pad:right() and dot.x > 479 then dot.x = dot.x + 1 end
screen:blit(dot.x,dot.y,dot.i)
screen:print(0,0,"X: "..dot.x,green)
screen:print(0,10,"Y: "..dot.y,green)
screen.waitVblankStart()
screen.flip()
end

I wonder how similar our codes are.....

[GuitarGod1134]

its pad control. and ya i know it only took me like 5 min but i thought it was useful so i shared it im not expecting a grammy or anything. but when im writing my game it sucks to know that i have no idea where 111, 56 is only a rough estimate so i thought this was just a little helpful.

[Anti-QuickJay]

As mentioned before, Just open up paint, It will give you the coordinates.

[GuitarGod1134]

hey tactical we used the same variable dot to create a 1 pixel by 1 pixel image. and i used tables to its not really that similar.

[slicer4ever]

if you could add in something where the person could load in images and set them up where he wants that would be 10 times more helpful

edit: also tatical isn't it < 271 not greater? same with > 479

[TacticalPenguin]

Yea and you used 2 tables instead of one, had the text a different color, and didnt indicate which was which.
-= Double Post =-
Slicer - I just finished making a file browser today, I could do something like that if i wanted to, but i dont want to.

[slicer4ever]

wasnt really planning on anyone looking at the source wasnt even planing on anyone downloading this i just thought it was useful and im not gonna make any version 0.2's or anything im working on another game and this very simple app just helped me a little thats why i made it thought it would help others. and now i have done enough chatting on these boards and code writing for today im gonna go play guitar.

Bla one more thing yah i had the text a dif color then the dot so that if you wanted the coordinates on the text then you could tell where the dot was.

[the undead]

wow dude, thanks this is really usefull!.....I just got done using it

[Grimfate126]

wow. its amazing how desperate people are to just release something. no offense, but it takes less time to make this then to actually download your script.

end

I wonder how similar our codes are.....

now it should work

[TacticalPenguin]

Oh yea i forgot that that was a table, im used to having to use double parenthesis only when im doing screenrint and being to lazy to define a color. I make DER mistakes a lot......

[slicer4ever]

green = Color.new(0,255,0)
dot = { x = 0, y = 0, i = Image.createEmpty(1,1) }
dot.i:clear()
while true do
pad = Controls.read()
screen:clear()
if pad:up() and dot.y > 0 then dot.y = dot.y - 1 end
if pad:down() and dot.y < 272 then dot.y = dot.y + 1 end
if pad:left() and dot.x > 0 then dot.x = dot.x - 1 end
if pad:right() and dot.x < 480 then dot.x = dot.x + 1 end
screen:blit(dot.x,dot.y,d ot.i)
screenrint(0,0,"X: "..dot.x,green)
screenrint(0,10,"Y: "..dot.y,green)
screen.waitVblankStart()
screen.flip()
end

now it well work

[Siouxsie]

You need to click "Disable smilies in this post" if you're going to post code tbh.

screen:print(0,10,"Y: "..dot.y,green)
screen.waitVblankStart()
screen.flip()
end

now u can actually see the dot

[slicer4ever]

ok there a fully functional position finder that doesn't even have to be dl'ed just copy it to notepad rename it as a .lua and your done
