Hellfire010 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Ignore this post. I got the code to work (see later in thread). Feel free to critique, of course. I've never written a plugin before, so I thought I'd start with something simple... a cellular automaton... <_< I figured it might be useful for making textures or something. After writing this code, I finally got no errors to come up. I'm not really familiar with C# that much, so it took me like 15 minutes to figure out that Math.pow should be Math.Pow (I'm mostly use to java and actionscript). Anywho, when I run this code in codelab nothing happens, and I can't really seem to figure out why. Any help appreciated! Also, I know it's not optimized AT ALL (lol), I was just trying to get it to actually work first. Behold... my first of many crappy attempts at a plugin: (Code outdated - updated (and working) version in later reply) #region UICode int Amount1=30; //[0,255]Rule Number #endregion void Render(Surface dst, Surface src, Rectangle rect) { ColorBgra PrimaryColor = (ColorBgra)EnvironmentParameters.PrimaryColor; ColorBgra SecondaryColor = (ColorBgra)EnvironmentParameters.SecondaryColor; bool[] table = new bool[8]; for(int i = 0; i < 7; i++) { table[i] = false; } //rule [0-255] int rule = Amount1; for(int place = 7; place >= 0; place--) { if(rule >= Math.Pow(2, place)) { rule -= (int)Math.Pow(2, place); table[7-place] = true; } } ColorBgra CurrentPixel; //Randomize first row Random random = new Random(); for (int x = rect.Left; x < rect.Right; x++) { CurrentPixel = src[x,rect.Top]; if (random.Next(2) == 1) { CurrentPixel.R = (byte)PrimaryColor.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)PrimaryColor.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)PrimaryColor.B; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)PrimaryColor.A; } else { CurrentPixel.R = (byte)SecondaryColor.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)SecondaryColor.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)SecondaryColor.B; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)SecondaryColor.A; } dst[x,rect.Top] = CurrentPixel; } for (int y = rect.Top+1; y < rect.Bottom; y++) { for (int x = rect.Left; x < rect.Right; x++) { CurrentPixel = src[x,y]; bool left = false, middle = false, right = false; if(x != 0 && dst[x-1,y-1] == PrimaryColor) { left = true; } if(dst[x,y-1] == PrimaryColor) { middle = true; } if(x != rect.Right && dst[x+1,y-1] == PrimaryColor) { right = true; } if(left) //B-- { if(middle) //BB- { if(right) //BBB { if(table[0]) { CurrentPixel.R = (byte)PrimaryColor.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)PrimaryColor.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)PrimaryColor.B; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)PrimaryColor.A; } else { CurrentPixel.R = (byte)SecondaryColor.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)SecondaryColor.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)SecondaryColor.B; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)SecondaryColor.A; } } else //BBW { if(table[1]) { CurrentPixel.R = (byte)PrimaryColor.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)PrimaryColor.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)PrimaryColor.B; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)PrimaryColor.A; } else { CurrentPixel.R = (byte)SecondaryColor.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)SecondaryColor.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)SecondaryColor.B; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)SecondaryColor.A; } } } else //BW- { if(right) //BWB { if(table[2]) { CurrentPixel.R = (byte)PrimaryColor.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)PrimaryColor.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)PrimaryColor.B; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)PrimaryColor.A; } else { CurrentPixel.R = (byte)SecondaryColor.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)SecondaryColor.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)SecondaryColor.B; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)SecondaryColor.A; } } else //BWW { if(table[3]) { CurrentPixel.R = (byte)PrimaryColor.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)PrimaryColor.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)PrimaryColor.B; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)PrimaryColor.A; } else { CurrentPixel.R = (byte)SecondaryColor.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)SecondaryColor.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)SecondaryColor.B; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)SecondaryColor.A; } } } } else //W-- { if(middle) //WB- { if(right) //WBB { if(table[4]) { CurrentPixel.R = (byte)PrimaryColor.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)PrimaryColor.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)PrimaryColor.B; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)PrimaryColor.A; } else { CurrentPixel.R = (byte)SecondaryColor.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)SecondaryColor.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)SecondaryColor.B; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)SecondaryColor.A; } } else //WBW { if(table[5]) { CurrentPixel.R = (byte)PrimaryColor.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)PrimaryColor.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)PrimaryColor.B; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)PrimaryColor.A; } else { CurrentPixel.R = (byte)SecondaryColor.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)SecondaryColor.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)SecondaryColor.B; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)SecondaryColor.A; } } } else //WW- { if(right) //WWB { if(table[6]) { CurrentPixel.R = (byte)PrimaryColor.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)PrimaryColor.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)PrimaryColor.B; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)PrimaryColor.A; } else { CurrentPixel.R = (byte)SecondaryColor.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)SecondaryColor.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)SecondaryColor.B; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)SecondaryColor.A; } } else //WWW { if(table[7]) { CurrentPixel.R = (byte)PrimaryColor.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)PrimaryColor.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)PrimaryColor.B; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)PrimaryColor.A; } else { CurrentPixel.R = (byte)SecondaryColor.R; CurrentPixel.G = (byte)SecondaryColor.G; CurrentPixel.B = (byte)SecondaryColor.B; CurrentPixel.A = (byte)SecondaryColor.A; } } } } dst[x,y] = CurrentPixel; } } } Edited February 8, 2011 by Hellfire010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to critique, of course. lol it is rather... err... iffy >_> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_automaton or, more specifically, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_cellular_automaton Basing this off of a Java program I wrote for a class last year. http://privatepaste.com/3718890fbf An example of "rule 30" Mostly, rule multiples of 15 produce interesting fractals. I have a lot of weird and interesting ideas to do with this once I get it working. It was like 1:00 am and it's my first attempt, I'm trying to figure out how these pluginamajiggies work x_x ...Oh, and is a bool or an array of bools in C# automatically set to false when created? Wasn't sure on that. But... this is my updated code. Something isn't working right. I think it's something to do with the ROI thing. So yeah, help appreciated. Oh, commented it a bit for you Rick, in case you're interested in this awful mess. Some pictures (random turned off) This is what it's suppose to look like, and on occasion, it will render this way. In fact, every time it runs at these settings it should look exactly like this. http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w6/AndrewM16921/Random/right.jpg But, I often get results like these: http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w6/AndrewM16921/Random/fail1.jpg http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w6/AndrewM16921/Random/fail2.jpg http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w6/AndrewM16921/Random/fail3.jpg http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w6/AndrewM16921/Random/fail4.jpg (Code outdated - updated (and working) version in later reply) #region UICode int Amount1 = 30; //[0,255]Rule Number bool Amount2 = true; // [0,1] Wrap bool Amount3 = false; // [0,1] Randomize #endregion private static bool[] table = new bool[8]; private static bool[] prevRow, currentRow; private static int mostRecentRowCalculated = -1; private static void calcRow(int row, int width, bool rand, bool wrap) { if(mostRecentRowCalculated == -1) { //Randomize a first row if(rand) { currentRow = new bool[width]; Random random = new Random(); for(int x = 0; x < width; x++) { if(random.Next(6) == 1) { currentRow[x] = true; } else { currentRow[x] = false; } } } //Creates first row with just a center pixel else { currentRow = new bool[width]; currentRow[width/2] = true; } mostRecentRowCalculated++; } while(mostRecentRowCalculated < row) { prevRow = currentRow; currentRow = new bool[width]; for(int x = 0; x < width; x++) { //Again, idk if this is necessary in C# bool left = false, middle = false, right = false; //Determines the "neighborhood" from previous row if( (x != 0 && prevRow[x-1]) || (wrap && x == 0 && prevRow[width-1]) ) { left = true; } if(prevRow[x]) { middle = true; } if( (x != width-1 && prevRow[x+1]) || (wrap && x == width-1 && prevRow[0]) ) { right = true; } //Use rule to determine the current pixel from the neighborhood //In comments: 'B' represents true, 'W' represents false ...

BoltBait Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 The problem is here: if(table == null) { generateTable(src.Width, src.Height, Amount3, Amount2); } if you define table this way: private static bool[,] table; (which you do) it will only be null the first time the effect is run. "Static" makes it retain its values even after it is done. So, when the UI slider changes, the table will never be rebuilt. You see, this is the sort of thing that needs to be called from the OnSetRenderInfo function which can not be modified in CodeLab. If you want this to work properly, you'll need to change it into a full project plugin. Read the "Limitations of CodeLab" section near the bottom of this page: http://boltbait.com/pdn/CodeLab/help/tutorial3.asp and specifically click the link on that page to look at the Render Flames plugin source code.

pyrochild Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 //Idk if this is necessary in C#. I know it's not in Java, but just in case I put it in for now... for(int i = 0; i < 7; i++) { table[i] = false; } It is not necessary, as bool is a value type, not a reference type. It is, by default, false. By the way, if it were necessary, you'd have experienced problems, since your indexing is wrong in this loop. You should be using i < 8 as your conditional, or you'll only index up to 6. Better yet, use i < table.Length.

Hellfire010 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) Still appreciated though! VS isn't free... sadface Hmm... would it be possible to tell WHEN the Render function is on the last row. Like, if rect.Bottom is equal to the bottom of the selection? Then, from there, set table back to null? *goes to try* Edited February 8, 2011 by Hellfire010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 The easiest way to turn a CodeLab script into a full project is to build it into a DLL using CodeLab. On that screen, click the check box that says "view source". On the source screen, select all and copy that to a .cs file.

Already did that ^_^ Just realized my school's free software section has VS 5 and 8, but I'm downloading 10 from DreamSpark now. Works for me. :o There's a VS template here Thanks for that. I'll look into it when I have time... Unfortunately, I have a Calc II exam tomorrow so I need to get studying a bit. All in due time, though. But hey, no more copy/pasta from notepad++ Edit: Just sayin, after Java being my language of choice for quite a while, I read up on C# a bit today, and I think C# is starting to be my new choice... we shall see.
