Can you save a drawing?

Hi all,

In my game you have to draw lines like in Cart Cow. Is it possible to save the lines?

Yes and no.

First the no: GameSalad does not allow access to the camera or photo albums.

Now the yes: You could save endpoint positions to a table each time a line is drawn and then if needed re-create those lines from the data.

@tatiang,

Oh good!(the yes bit), could you give me a rough idea of the best way to implement it?

Cheers

It depends how you are drawing the lines but let's say that you have a rule that determines one endpoint (x & y) when mouse button is down and another that determines the other endpoint when mouse button is up. In the first rule, you would add a table row and change the values of the first two columns' cells to the x & y position of the first endpoint. In the second rule, you would change the values of the third and fourth columns' cells to the x & y position of the second endpoint. Then you would do a Save Table behavior.

Thanks a lot, i'll give it a go.
