How to Snap linestyle in Actionscript 3.0? - actionscript-3

Hai, i am a newbie to actionscript.
i am trying to make a brush tool in actionscript 3, where kids can paint colors inside a circle using the brush. i have achieved this using linestyle. Now i want the brush to snap the color when the kid is about to complete(say when they are 95% to complete the painting). How do i know how much the kid has painted on the circle?
Thanks

How do i know how much the kid has
painted on the circle?
You can:
make your circles and other shapes Sprites to get separate container
render them into bitmap and count number of non-transparent pixels in it (you should know what number corresponds to 100%)
since counting pixels is heavy operation (can take hundreds of milliseconds, depending of shape size), you don't want to run it on every frame. I suggest to do it on MOUSE_UP, right after kid finishes next stroke.
How to count pixels:
function countPixels(shape:DisplayObject):int
{
var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(shape.width, shape.height);
bd.draw(shape);
//here you get sequence of ARGB-packed colors in vector
var pixels:Vector.<uint> = bd.getVector(bd.rect);
//AFAIK, fastest method to traverse vector is 'for' loop
var pixel:uint;
var filledCount:int = 0;
for (var i:int = pixels.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
pixel = pixels[i];
//pixel is 32-bit ARGB color value, test upper 8 bits (alpha):
if ((pixel >> 24) > 0) filledCount++;
}
return filledCount;
}
Run this on filled shape to get total pixel count to compare with.
After pixelCount reaches 95%, you can clear kid's drawing and show filled shape.

libGDX texture a 2d terrain

I work at a truck game with libgdx and box2d.
In my game 1 meter = 100 pixels.
My 2d terrain is generated by me, and is made by points.
What I did, is made a polygonregion for the whole polygon and used texturewrap.repeat.
The problem is that, my game size is scaled down by 100 times, to fit the box2d units.
So my camera width is 800 / 100 and height 480 / 100. (8x4.8 pixels)
How I created my polygon region
box = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("box.png"));
box.setFilter(TextureFilter.Linear, TextureFilter.Linear);
box.setWrap(TextureWrap.Repeat, TextureWrap.Repeat);
TextureRegion region = new TextureRegion(box);
psb = new PolygonSpriteBatch();
float[] vertices = new float[paul.size];
for (int i = 0; i < paul.size; i++) {
vertices[i] = paul.get(i);
if (i % 2 == 1)
vertices[i] += 1f;
}
EarClippingTriangulator a = new EarClippingTriangulator();
ShortArray sar = a.computeTriangles(vertices);
short[] shortarray = new short[sar.size];
for (int i = 0; i < sar.size; i++)
shortarray[i] = sar.get(i);
PolygonRegion pr = new PolygonRegion(region, vertices, shortarray);
System.out.println(vertices.length + " " + shortarray.length);
ps = new PolygonSprite(pr);
Now i'll just draw the polygonsprite to my polygonsprite batch.
This will render the texture on the polygon repeatedly, but the picture will be 100 times bigger and is very streched.
The left example is the one that i want to make, and the right one is the way that my game looks..
This PR was merged which looks like it does what you want:
https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/pull/3799
See RepeatablePolygonSprite.
I am not completely sure if this will solve your problem (can't test it right now), but you need to set the texture coordinates of your TextureRegion to a higher value, probably your factor of 100.
So you could try to use region.setU2(100) and region.setV2(100). Since Texture Coordinates usually go from [0,1], the values higher than that will be outside. And because you set the TextureWrap to repeat, this will then repeat your texture over and over.
This way, the TextureRegion will alredy show your one texture repeated 100 times in x and y direction. If you then tell the PolygonSprite to use that region, it should show it as in the image you posted.
Hope that helps... :)
You could create a new texture by code. Take your level size and fill it with your texture then delete to background the top side. Look at pixelmap. Maybe this will help you.
Edit:
TextureRegion doesn't repeat to fit the size you even use texture, or you use TiledDrawable.

How to detect if the area was 100% painted in as3

I´m making a game that simulates an industry of pan, and one of the process is Painting.
What I want to do is to let the player paint the pan, but i don´t want it to be easy using FILL, i want that the player paint the pan with an brush and then the game detects if all the area was painted and let the player advance.
For the painting i intend to use that library: http://www.nocircleno.com/graffiti/
But i have no idea how to detect if all the area was painted. Can someone show me some way of doing that?
One of the ways would be - you make a shielding BitmapData that has transparency and is opaque in place which you need your player to paint. (Color it as needed, but make sure the color is fully opaque). Then gather histogram() then query alpha vector for 255th value, this will be the initial value for zero percent filled. These range from 0-255, so you can't use 100 or any other fixed value. Then, while the player is painting, you draw the brush over that BitmapData with blendMode parameter set to BlendMode.ERASE, this will net your BitmapData to gain transparency where the brush was drawn. After your player finishes drawing by any means (say, the paint is used up), you run another histogram() over the BitmapData, and query the 255th value of alpha channel vector. 0 means the bitmap is fully transparent (or at least, only a small amount of pixels is left opaque), thus you can count a zero as 100% fill, for anything greater use the proportion.
var bd:BitmapData=new BitmapData(w,h,true,0x0); // fully transparent initial bitmap
bd.draw(yourPaintBase); // a shape that designates area to be painted. Must be fully opaque
var bm:Bitmap=new Bitmap(bd);
// position it as needed, so the area which should be painted is aligned to wherever you need
addChild(bm);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,doPaint);
var baseValue:int=bd.histogram()[3][255]; // Vector #3 contains alpha, #255 contains
// percentage of those pixels that have alpha of 255 = fully opaque
function doPaint(e:Event):void {
if (!areWePainting) return;
var sh:Shape=getBrush(); // shuold return an existing Shape object reference for performance
sh.x=e.localX;
sh.y=e.localY; // we are drawing where the mouse is
bd.draw(sh,null,null,BlendMode.ERASE);
decreasePaint(); // we have used some paint
if (noMorePaint()) {
e.target.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,doPaint);
var endValue:int=Math.floor(100*(1-bd.histogram()[3][255]/baseValue));
// aligning to percentage. This is the value you seek
reportFilledPercentage(endValue);
}
}
You can iterate over the pixels on your BitmapData and use getPixel() to check if the color of all those pixels is not white. If a white one is found, the image is not fully painted.
Something like this:
function containsWhite(bitmapData:BitmapData):Boolean
{
for(var c:int = 0; c < bitmapData.width; c++)
{
for(var r:int = 0; r < bitmapData.height; r++)
{
// Check if pixel is white.
if(bitmapData.getPixel(c, r) >= 0xFFFFFF)
{
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}
Your essentially dealing with a collision detection problem. From looking at their API you could try something like a for loop with getColorAtPoint and try to determine they have drawn at each pixel.
If all else fails look into collision between the objects the library generates using the .hitTestObject method of an object.
See this: http://sierakowski.eu/list-of-tips/39-collision-detection-methods-hittest-and-hittestobject-alternatives.html
And this to see how someone handles collision with pixels: http://www.emanueleferonato.com/2010/08/05/worms-like-destructible-terrain-in-flash-part-2/

How can I randomize a picture under a cover in actionscript 3.0?

I'm making a flash game for practice and I have my stage set up so there are 9 boxes. When the game is started, one of the boxes is randomized as the one with the start underneath, if you pick the box with the star underneath, you win.
The randomizing code is
var star = 1 + Math.Round(Math.Random()*8.0)//generate a number between 1 and 9
What i dont know is how to attach this code so that it assigns the star to one of my 9 boxes made as buttons. How can I hide the star underneath the box as a cover.
Thanks for your time
I'm picturing one of those games where you but a ball under one of three cups and swap the cups, then guess which one has the ball.
The simplest way to hide one object under another is to just add it to the stage before the object covering it. So add your star to the stage, then add all your boxes. BUT since you don't have to have an unseen object actually be on the stage, I recommend not adding the star to the stage until it is revealed, and remove it when it gets hidden again.
You can create layers to make sure objects are always above/below what they need to be above/below. Create sprite objects, and call them layers. Add them in order from bottom to top. Add other sprites to these layer sprites to control their display order.
var layer1:Sprite = new Sprite(); // Bottom / background
var layer2:Sprite = new Sprite(); // Top / foreground
stage.addChild(layer1);
stage.addChild(layer2);
layer2.addChild(someObject1);
layer1.addChild(someObject2); // someObject2 will be below someObject1
That deals with covering the star with the boxes.
You can put your boxes in an array. You'll want a number between 0 and 8, then just use that as the index in the array to get the box you want.
var whichBox:int = (int)(Math.random() * 9);
var boxesArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i:int = 0; i < 9; i++) {
boxesArray.push(new Box()); // Or whatever your boxes are
}
var boxWithStar:Box = boxesArray[whichBox];
You can then move the star to the same location as its box...
star.x = boxWithStar.x;
star.y = boxWithStar.y;
This is a pretty handy function you can use:
function randRange(start:Number, end:Number) : Number
{
return Math.floor(start +(Math.random() * (end - start)));
}
example (any number between 0 - 9) :
var random:int = randRange(0,9);
remember to make it an int or you may end up with a float.

How can I resize bitmap data without having to edit the transform matrix and maintain good quality

I am trying to resize a bitmap for a project we are working on at work in as 3.0. Basically we have a bunch of sprites that get drawn on a bitmapData and then are stored in a vector. The data in the vector eventually gets stored in a bitmap object. Now I want to make the BitmapData sprites smaller but don't want to have to update 100 matrix to do it. Is there another way?
I had some success by scaling the bitmap that gets displayed but the image is a bit jagged looking and the models don't turn around just moon walk.
I have also tired Matrix.a = 0.4 and matrix.d = 0.4 but that did nothing.
When I did bitmap.scalex = 0.7 and the same for scaleY it made it smaller but now they are in the air as the x and y aren't right and the code for them to go in reverse was just doing scalX *= -1 which now doesn't seem to work either. Also I figured out how to get them out of the air but they are as said before jagged and moon walking. Please help as I am attempting to fix code that was written before I got here.
Bascially here is some code, I got approval from the CEO:
we have this:
var b:BitmapData = new BitmapData(CustomerRenderer.BLIT_WIDTH,
CustomerRenderer.BLIT_HEIGHT, true, 0x00000000);
for(var i:int=0; i<WRAPPER.numChildren; i++)
{
b.draw(Sprite(WRAPPER.getChildAt(i)),
WRAPPER.getChildAt(i).transform.matrix, null, null, b.rect, true);
}
_spriteSheet[_currentFrame] = b;
Then we use that data in
BAKED_BITMAP.bitmapData = _spriteSheet[_currentFrame];
to display it where BAKED_BITMAP is a Bitmap
then to flip all the person was doing was:
BAKED_BITMAP.scaleX *= -1;
BAKED_BITMAP.x = (BAKED_BITMAP.scaleX >= 0) ? 0 : BLIT_WIDTH;
thanks
You can try setting the smoothing property of the Bitmap object to see if it gives you the desired effect.

Bitmap conversion - Creating a transparent + black image from a B&W source

I have a whole bunch of jpg files that I need to use in a project, that for one reason or another cannot be altered. Each file is similar (handwriting), black pen on white BG. However I need to use these assets against a non-white background in my flash project, so I'm trying to do some client-side processing to get rid of the backgrounds using getPixel and setPixel32.
The code I am currently using currently uses a linear comparison, and while it works, the results are less than expected, as the shades of grey are getting lost in the mix. Moreso than just tweaking my parameters to get things looking proper, I get the feeling that my method for computing the RGBa value is weak.
Can anyone recommend a better solution than what I'm using below? Much appreciated!
private function transparify(data:BitmapData) : Bitmap {
// Create a new BitmapData with transparency to return
var newData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(data.width, data.height, true);
var orig_color:uint;
var alpha:Number;
var percent:Number;
// Iterate through each pixel using nested for loop
for(var x:int = 0; x < data.width; x++){
for (var y:int = 0; y < data.height; y++){
orig_color = data.getPixel(x,y);
// percent is the opacity percentage, white should be 0,
// black would be 1, greys somewhere in the middle
percent = (0xFFFFFF - orig_color)/0xFFFFFF;
// To get the alpha value, I multiply 256 possible values by
// my percentage, which gets multiplied by 0xFFFFFF to fit in the right
// value for the alpha channel
alpha = Math.round(( percent )*256)*0xFFFFFF;
// Adding the alpha value to the original color should give me the same
// color with an alpha channel added
var newCol = orig_color+alpha;
newData.setPixel32(x,y,newCol);
}
}
var newImg:Bitmap = new Bitmap(newData);
return newImg;
}
Since it's a white background, blendMode may give you a better result.
