Pixel Drawing

Post by Sh0Ti » September 7th, 2014, 10:20 am

Hey guys, i was just wondering how do people draw pixel images (such as the ones we used in the beginner tutorials at lesson 8)
I mean the codes for them are huge , especially for the Game Over one..
I doubt some1 would write hundreds if not thousound of gfx.PutPixels codes just to get the image done, so do they use some other programs to draw the stuff and then the program itself gives the needed coordinates?

Basicly I want to draw a small image myself and put it into the game with the putpixels (altho i dont think the way to go is to type all the lines 1 by 1 ..)

Real games do it very differently, but for now you can use this: http://www.planetchili.net/forum/viewto ... ?f=3&t=991

Yup, and if you keep on with the tutorials you'll learn a better method. Use Lux's utility until then if you want to work on a project for practice.
