Any chance you could make a video of it on your system?


He'd have to have a damn good system to do that. The thing locked up one of my cores when I ran it.

I managed to get a laggy video with Fraps, I'm encoding it in H.264 and then I'll upload it to YouTube. I expect it'll take at least 45 minutes.
Here's a really old screenshot:

That window title does a nice job obscuring a secret channel's name wink.png

Edit: uploading...

Yeah this locks out my control too. If you click, the focus shifts back on Sonic, and that's NO GOOD. Also, could it be possible to make this thing detect horizontal lines?

By "locks out control", do you mean that Sonic doesn't respond or that you can't do anything else while it's running?

And what do you mean by horizontal lines?

This is a neat program, but works extremely weirdly with dual monitors. It's like it's only picking up my primary monitor, but putting the data on it starting on the left-most monitor (the smaller secondary one) o_O

I need to investigate that, I think I'm doing something that I shouldn't regarding sonic's coordinates relative to the screen bounds.

Anyway, video is up.

I am attempting to hook window creation and destroying events and it's failing horribly. The hook doesn't seem to work outside of the routine it's started in.

By Creating and destroying, events, do you mean Sonic jumps/spins into the X button and/or icons?

Can't do anything else while running. Sonic responds fine. If it matters, I'm running WinXP SP3.
By horizontal lines, I mean well, Sonic being able to run on the divisions between posts on this board or maybe even shit like this:

It crashes on startup, however, it doesn't give me any error report (and yes, I have installed every possible .NET framework version).

No, getting that to work would be very difficult. I mean when the OS creates and destroys windows, so I won't have to get the whole list of windows every frame.

And if you click on something, it doesn't work? That is really weird.

I believe I have resolved this issue by adding the upper left coordinate of the screens to all the drawing commands, so that -480 on the desktop becomes 0 on the form if you have a screen at -480y.

This is really neat and fun, only it lags terribly on my laptop and makes it run slower till I quit.

I also like how the images of Sonic are external so I can change to something else...

It starts but it doesn' overlap Windows, instead I get a purple screen with Sonic falling down onto it. I can move him around and place him on stuff, but I can't see anything but him.

Really hope this can get fixed...

EDIT: Dur Hur Hur, didn't see that on the front page, my mistake. :P

True Dude: set color mode to 24-bit or lower. I explained that in the first post.
