Alpha Shapes

[kevin]

This picture shows that shapes now support draw modes also.  While alpha will always be a slow process when drawing directly to video memory, the speed of Filled shapes has doubled.  

Anyway here's the code for this simple effect

PlayBASIC Code: [Select]

   CreateConvexShape 1,100,5
   CreateConvexShape 2,80,5
   MergeShape 2,1

Do
  Cls 255

  InkMode 1
  BoxC 100,100,200,200,1,$ff00ff

  InkMode 32+1   
  DrawShape 1,MouseX(),MouseY(),2

  RotateShape 1,angle#,1
  angle#=WrapAngle(angle#,1)
  
  Sync  
Loop
