BGRA Contest

In the video there is a delay in mouse hover on buttons,why?

The overall drawing speed is very slow.  Just did a recompile in Windows and everything runs smooth, even on a low budget 99 Euro Windows 8 Tablet
I had the same problem on MacOS when drawing the Spectrum Analyzer using a timer to do the drawing.  Changing from TTimer to a seperated Thread the problem was solved.  So I will check if we can change it to a seperated Thread.  Don't know if AnimateEasing also has to be threaded, or the Timer is good enough.

The problem that always the same tile was changing is solved.  I had to put a second instance of randomize in the used unit.  I asumed that calling randomize in the Main form (used to randomize the playing queue) was enough.

I think putting the class in thread will be enough .
About MacOS maybe Circular can help.

He doesn't have a Mac. A virtual machine with a Mac system is not as easy to create too.

[aradeonas]

Yes I test that in it was a pain

So lets make an application or library on BGRABitmap and buy him one as a gift

I dont know,may things we can talk about it if you want

[lainz]

Well, this must be something that can be sold, right?

I just make free software, so I have no idea

all humans can change

[lainz]

I think we can improve LazPaint and make a commercial edition with more features, like plugins, more brushes and so on.
I have no other idea right now.

BTW I first must know how to do it. Understand the LazPaint code. I've just contributed with the setup file, translations and ideas basically.

Also Circular at some point was suggested by a company or something to include ads in LazPaint setup, but he refused. Ads are annoying.

Well, I'll try to do the plugins thing, at least in a separate demo.

[aradeonas]

Yes maybe

[lainz]

BTW no one here is more qualified than Circular to do it. And if he choose to don't do it he must have their reasons, I think.

This contest derived on a lot of things. Is like a consortium of graphics now.

[aradeonas]

If there will be a new paint like program there is no need to ad,I can work on something like this but problem is the core will be out of my abilities and some one else should prepare that.
Let see what Circular think.

Hi! It is heartwarming to see you trying to find a way to buy me a Mac. 

I have started a new job, so hopefully I will have some money soon.

However it is true that plugins could help LazPaint. At some point, I was thinking about running the plugins of other software, like Paint.NET, Gimp or Photoshop.

Many free plugins exist and it would be great to be able to use them in LazPaint.

Indeed, we are talking about everything here.

Congratulate

Circular do you have time for a project like we talked?
