Evar just showed me the awesomest thing ever
Care to explain to the folks reading what it is?
Sure.
The AX67 Ignite's advanced screen control and input management feature is yet another innovative feature of Evar678's line of Blockland Computers known as the AccellereX series, or AX for short.
First off, the screen is made up of 20 pixels, each having the same exact name (being AX67_Screen). This is so that having a blpc doesn't take up massive amounts of named brick slots in the eventing dialog.
So, with that being noted: Each and every individual pixel can be changed using an astonishing
one line of events. Each pixel can change to just about any color, and any color fx.
I'm not going to go in to detail just yet on how this system works, but, basically, every pixel has a number
To change that number, all you have to do is call a function on the screen, and supply a few arguments.
So, say you want to change pixel 1 to red, with the blink fx. You'd do:
OnActivate -> <Named_Brick [AX67_Screen]> -> vce_callFunction -> [modColor] [1|red|blink]
That's it! The first pixel on the screen (top-left corner) is now red with the blink fx!
This enables roms to have complete control over the screen!
Another feature, roms can read input from the screen, and use them in programs!
How epic is that?
It is noted that this BLPC is not classified as lightweight, unlike the persona, and servers with under 1.5gb of ram may experience lag upon using this blockland pc. This, however, is not guarenteed, and your results may vary.
The advanced screen control feature is already implemented and functioning on the AX67 Ignite BLPC, by Comblock: Blockland Computing.
Besides that, I'd like to welcome CheeseDragon to Comblock! He's shown me that he definately knows his way around my computers' rom system, and, on top of that, he's completely self-taught! How awesome is that?
