Well for some reason I needed a break, and started programming randomly and this is what I came up with in 20 min.:
Code: Select all
DECLARE SUB getpic (fadetitle() AS ANY, title$)
DECLARE SUB fadein (fadetitle() AS ANY, X%, Y%, seconds%)
DECLARE SUB fadeout (fadetitle() AS ANY, X%, Y%, seconds%)
CLEAR
CLS
TYPE fadetitletype
X AS INTEGER
Y AS INTEGER
index AS INTEGER
col AS INTEGER
END TYPE
REDIM fadetitle(0) AS fadetitletype
SCREEN 13
RANDOMIZE TIMER
title$ = "This is the Title, Must be 1 line long"
getpic fadetitle(), title$
'----TEST OUTPUT----|
CLS
'(x, y) of title (They are centered below)
X% = 159 - (fadetitle(0).X + fadetitle(UBOUND(fadetitle)).X / 2)
Y% = 99 - (7 / 2)
LOCATE 1, 1: PRINT "Fading in: "
fadein fadetitle(), X%, Y%, 3
LOCATE 2, 1: PRINT "Press any key"
DO: LOOP WHILE INKEY$ = ""
LINE (0, 0)-(319, 16), 0, BF 'CLS for top output
LOCATE 1, 1: PRINT "Fading out: "
fadeout fadetitle(), X%, Y%, 3
LOCATE 2, 1: PRINT "Press any key to exit"
COLOR 0
END
SUB fadein (fadetitle() AS fadetitletype, X%, Y%, seconds%)
FOR i% = 0 TO UBOUND(fadetitle)
fadetitle(i%).index = INT(RND * (10 * seconds% - 0 + 1) + 0)
NEXT i%
FOR k% = 0 TO 10 * seconds%
FOR i% = 0 TO UBOUND(fadetitle)
IF fadetitle(i%).index = k% THEN
PSET (fadetitle(i%).X + X%, fadetitle(i%).Y + Y%), fadetitle(i%).col
END IF
NEXT i%
timeri! = TIMER
DO: LOOP UNTIL TIMER - timeri! > .01
NEXT k%
END SUB
SUB fadeout (fadetitle() AS fadetitletype, X%, Y%, seconds%)
FOR i% = 0 TO UBOUND(fadetitle)
fadetitle(i%).index = INT(RND * (10 * seconds% - 0 + 1) + 0)
NEXT i%
FOR k% = 0 TO 10 * seconds%
FOR i% = 0 TO UBOUND(fadetitle)
IF fadetitle(i%).index = k% THEN
PSET (fadetitle(i%).X + X%, fadetitle(i%).Y + Y%), 0
END IF
NEXT i%
timeri! = TIMER
DO: LOOP UNTIL TIMER - timeri! > .01
NEXT k%
END SUB
SUB getpic (fadetitle() AS fadetitletype, title$)
LOCATE 1, 1: PRINT title$
'|----GET SIZE----|
size% = -1
FOR i% = 0 TO 319
FOR j% = 0 TO 7
col% = POINT(i%, j%)
IF col% <> 0 THEN
size% = size% + 1
END IF
NEXT j%
NEXT i%
'|---GET ARRAY-----|
REDIM fadetitle(size%) AS fadetitletype
fadetitlei% = -1
FOR i% = 0 TO 319
FOR j% = 0 TO 7
col% = POINT(i%, j%)
IF col% <> 0 THEN
fadetitlei% = fadetitlei% + 1
fadetitle(fadetitlei%).X = i%
fadetitle(fadetitlei%).Y = j%
fadetitle(fadetitlei%).col = col%
END IF
NEXT j%
NEXT i%
END SUB
