I'm creating a simple program that displays a blue screen. Unfortinately all i get is a black screen even though i can screen_color.blue = 150; inside my main() function. Here is the code i'm using:

Code:

---

///////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

///////////////////////////////

PANEL* panDisplay =
{
	flags = VISIBLE;
}

function main()
{
	video_switch = 7; // 800 * 600 pixels
	screen_color.blue = 150; // dark blue
	while (1)
   {
       wait (1);
   }
}

---

Simple enough right? Any help is appreciated.

I don't know why it compiles, but video_switch is a function, so you may not assign a value to it. If you want to set the screen resolution to 800x600, define video_mode, outside the function:

var video_mode = 7;

and remove the line with video_switch from the function.

Still no progress and i followed all your instructions:

Code:

---

///////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

///////////////////////////////

var video_mode = 7; // 800 * 600 pixels

PANEL* panDisplay =
{
	flags = VISIBLE;
}

function main()
{
	screen_color.blue = 150; // dark blue
	while (1)
   {
       wait (1);
   }
}

Sorry I was wrong, you should not define video_mode outside the function in Lite-C (that was C-Script). With the following code, I get a blue screen:

Code:

---

///////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

///////////////////////////////

PANEL* panDisplay =
{
	flags = VISIBLE;
}

function main()
{
   video_mode = 7;
	screen_color.blue = 150; // dark blue
	
	while (1)
   {
       wait (1);
   }
}

Still get a black screen and i copied and pasted your code. If i load one of the examples, it works.

Code:

---

///////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

///////////////////////////////

PANEL* panDisplay =
{
	flags = VISIBLE;
}

function main()
{
   video_mode = 7;
	screen_color.blue = 150; // dark blue
	
	while (1)
   {
       wait (1);
   }
}

Heres a link to a screenshot of what it looks like when i run it. It shows the code on the left and the running app on the right.

Ensure you have selected the current file for running. You can yuickly do this by pressing alt + f5. The last script you posted should work as expected.

use *.c files for your scripts instead of *.wdl, now wdl is used for defining paths and resources

you can still use .wdl for c-script Oo

Maybe try level_load("");

hes right, resaving the file as Main.c and deleting Main.wdl solved the probem.

Any ideas on where i canfind ball and bat models?

try acknex unlimited or user contributions
@TWO in Lite-C you can't
