1.

Using an interger slider for a color chanel (0 to 255, default = 20), I want to change the style to White-Red. The values are replaced by 0-100, default=0.

 

2.

Retyping the values, I start by the default = 20 and when I type the maximum value 2 (for 255) the default value is replaced by 2.

 

edit:

3.

Impossible to type -255 (minus 255) when the value is 0.

Yes, changing the style updates the defaults to help new users pick the right values when choosing certain color combinations (like Hue).

 

I recommend always starting entering data by starting at the top and working your way down the screen.  That way you start with the style.

Yup, that's annoying and I need to fix it.  Basically, there is code in there that keeps the 3 values (min, default, max) in sync so that the combination is always valid.  I need to make it a little less aggressive.

Yeah, I know.  Like I said, I do need to fix that.

 

In order to type a negative number, change the 0 to 2 first. Then put the minus sign in.

 

EDIT: I have fixed #2 and #3 for the next release.  Instead of triggering the normalization on "text change", I'm now doing it on "before leave". So, it normalizes the fields when you exit one of them, not while you're typing.

Question -  is it possible for CodeLab to access and store variable in array?  One thing I would love to improve is the HSV Gradient you have and include blending mode.  What I have in mind is the ability to add and remove color, but I suspect that would go beyond the ability of CodeLab.

If I understand you correctly, yes.

int[] myIntArray = new int[5];

//set
myIntArray[3] = 9999;

// get
int myInt = myIntArray[3];

 

[TrevorOutlaw]

Would that give me the ability to add RGB color one by one?

Sure, if that's how you want to do it.

Color[] myColorArray = new Color[5];

myColorArray[0] = Color.Black;
myColorArray[1] = Color.Red;
myColorArray[2] = Color.Blue;
myColorArray[3] = Color.Green;
myColorArray[4] = Color.White;

I don't really understand what you're wanting to do.

Arrays are fixed in size. Maybe you want to use List instead? I don't know. This really isn't the place to learn C#.

Hello.

 

Plugin have terrible code assistance (auto indent etc.). Please, create option for disable this function (or tell me where this function).

When i write 'if( ' he write 'if(if('.

All variables with 'b' names, he renamed on 'bright'.

and many others 'crazy' behaviors

 

(I C++ developer, not C#. Most of the things we write ourselves. Without any helpers.)

Now there's an exaggeration.

You can can easily avoid that, but I'll make it more idiot proof so you won't have to.

Please give me the steps to reproduce this behavior.

Oh yeah? Feel free to list them. No one is going to fix them otherwise.

 

Thanks for the feedback.

Left-click at the end of your variable when you stop typing it - the hint will disappear.

Type the code using space between symbols and texts

 

    int b1 = 0;
    int b2 = 1;
    if(b1 == 1) b2 = b1 + 1;

when I typed it, Ihave got on the last line b2 =b2 +1;

 

add a new line to type b1 = b2 + 3;

 

 

the space changes b1 and b2 into

BadImageFormatException = BadImageFormatException + 3;

To me, this only happens when I type "if(" followed by the tab key twice.

 

If you type "if" followed by tab key twice, it works fine.

 

EDIT: typing Madjik's code above...

 

int b1 = 0;
int b1 = 1;
if (b1 == b2)

After pressing ")" on the last line, press the space bar.  The result is:

 

int b1 = 0;
int b2 = 1;
if (b1 == b2)b2 

 

@MadJik, I could not reproduce your issue.  Are you sure b1 and b2 are in scope where you're typing?

 

Reproduced: This happens when you type those lines outside of a function, like the Render() function.  That is, on the same level as the Render function itself.  It is not valid to write code at that level, only define variables.

Yeah, well, we'll just have the ")" character close the AutoComplete box, and call it a day.

Thus those are fields, not local variables. Newly typed Fields are not enumerated into the Intelligent Assistance features, until after a successful Build. So, wait a few seconds, or just click the Build button.

Probably have to also include "(" for when starting a function.

Is anyone interested in having an Output Console in CodeLab?

It would work like the one in Visual Studio: print messages, evaluate values, do traces, ect. The alternative is, of course, drawing the values/messages to the Canvas.

 

I got this proof-of-concept working this afternoon:

 

Is it worth my time to continue working on this?

[MJW]

That certainly seems like a useful idea to me. Much more practical then writing to the canvas. It would be very helpful for debugging.

I think the 'View Source' button has a wrong anchor.
And the text is not visible in Dark Theme.

My fault. I can't believe I did that.

We're just people. And sometimes we make mistakes. Nobody is perfect. 

[Ego Eram Reputo]

BoltBait may not be perfect, but bits of him are excellent.

 

[BoltBait]

What the heck?!

 

Why are you looking at my "bits"?

 

[LionsDragon]

Goodness! There are kids here! *stifles a laugh, badly*
