| Code Submitted By:
- jamesf1
| | Basically identical to the Input$ command, but for graphics mode. You will have to fiddle around with it to get it to suit your needs. Its basic, but its all I needed for my proggy :) Just bear in mind 'foobar' is a useless var and is just there for the While/Wend loop :) |

| Title: How to change the Window and Taskbar Icon
| Code Submitted By:
- grisu
| Simple demo to demonstrate how to change the Window and Taskbar Icon in Blitz. Originally written by Binary Moon.
To run it needs a "user32.decls" placed in your userlib folder consisting of the following lines:
.lib "user32.dll"
User32_GetActiveWindow%():"GetActiveWindow"
User32_SetClassLong%( hWnd, nIndex, dwNewLong ):"SetClassLongA"
.lib "Shell32.dll"
LoadIcon%(hWND%,File$,Index%) : "ExtractIconA"
You also need an icon named "demo.ico" placed in the program folder! |

This code is uncommented right now, But it is pretty easy to understand. No images are required to run this code either :)
Note: This entry is now complete -- Before the bottom half kept getting chopped off every time I tried to post it. It is now all here though :) I will add comments to this entry soon.

| Title: Replaying user input using a collection of Types
| Code Submitted By:
- matt_sephton
| 23/24 June 2002, version 0.10, tracks user controlled element
26/27 June 2002, version 0.20, tracks multiple computer controlled elements
to do: enable early quit of replay to go back to game
*** feel free to use this method as long as you give me credit
this method can be used to replay user input. this simple demo records the player control of a dot. we choose to do the correct branch of the main loop (moving or drawing) depending on if we are recording (game) or replaying (watching). this could be extended to keep track of multiple items, such as computer/AI controlled characters.

| Code Submitted By:
- oscar
| This is a simple text based menu i made... it's kinda bloated & ineficient, but it does the job & is fairly easy for noobs to understand.
also you can add gfx instead of the text! handy (go blitz, go!)
it's fairly simple to see how to add options so i won't put in an explanation unless someone needs one ;)
I also added a cool little loop around thing so when you get to the bottom just push down to get to the top ;) & vice versa

| Title: Using Locate
| Code Submitted By:
- luke_skyscraper
| Locate simply locates the cursor to an (x,y) position on a graphics context. Very useful for making text input boxes. Of course for printing text you could (and probably should) just use
Text(x,y,"text")
but its still good to know I think |
