Silly question, but what's it supposed to actually do?

[richmond62]

It has minimum graphic library on card script to manipulate raw image data.

Not silly at all . . . personally I haven't had time to play with it, and because of that I haven't a clue.

It looked like it drew a few shapes and graphics on the card - and I'm sure there is much more to it than that, but the second time around, those buttons became non functional - and after that, I didn't have any more time to play around with it either.

I don't want to sound derogatory to any work being put in, and I don't think I gave it enough time to properly draw any conclusions about it one way or the other.

Oh any library by UDI I'm sure is well written and useful. That's the person that wrote the MakeSMF/PlayPMD library, still useful to me after 20+ years. Seems they were inactive in xTalk for some time but recently resurfaced. UDI has recently become a member of this site as well! Looking forward to checking that out when I get a chance.

Yes, I'm sure a lot of work has gone into it - so I'm certainly not meaning to dismiss any submission of sample stack, libraries or whatever. (I've always said all submissions are welcome) - It's all stuff we can add to the OXT sample stacks library, and even if one person finds it helpful, then it's served it's purpose.

- whether we then work on it here collaboratively, as we've done in the past, adding v2,v3, and so on - that seems to work well.

Or even at the very least, if we all add suggestions, I think it's all useful.

Hello, everyone. Thank you for being interested in this library.

I don't even know how practical this library is. I haven't made anything else after making this game. I hope someone will use it well, but maybe it will be buried as it is...

My interest was "Is it possible to create a Break Bricks game that runs on the Image object by manipulating raw ImageData?" So this library has only a minimum feature for creating this game ( and plus alpha ). Probably the versatility is low. The deadly thing is that there is no rectangular copy paste. (You can do it by combining some commands..)

the second time around, those buttons became non functiona

There may be bugs that I do not know. As a trial, click the icon on the upper left.
