I just made a tool for drawing grass. The grass is tintable. Sometimes the color selector doesn't show though, so you might need to temporarily choose some other tool for changing the colors.
It's best to work from back to front, laying grass down on some nice dirt. I like light grey tinted grass for sunny spots, and black tinted grass for the shadows. Use red for grass that needs water. During development, I noticed a _huge_ slowdown when I switched to going pixel by pixel. I needed to do this to support tinting, both user-selected and random. (random tinting is needed to keep the grass from turning into a featureless blob) Something should be done about this. Maybe have separate functions, indexed by SDL_Surface type, for getting and setting the R,G,B,A data? If the functions were simplified, perhaps by eliminating all non-32-bit surfaces, inlining them would be OK. BTW, the bucket mechanism used for the grass can produce a very smooth random layout. Perhaps the sparkle magic could use this. _______________________________________________ Tuxpaint-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tux4kids.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxpaint-dev
