i don't see any functions that access the mobile camera. Are there any plans to add that? I think it would be a valuable addition...
Thanks

of course there is:

Quote: "1. Bool = ShowImageCaptureScreen ( )
This command will switch the camera on and waiting to capture an image from it. The app will still be running so better to create a loop until an image being captured from the camera."


Quote: "2. Bool = IsCapturingImage ( )
This command will return 1 if command 1 is still running.
(I did not find it useful)"


Quote: "3. imgno = GetCapturedImage ( )
This command will return 0 if command 1 is running or cancelled."


Quote: "4. Bool = GetCameraExists ( )"

where did these come from??
Ok, I tried using them as follows:
void app::Begin ( void )
{
if (agk::ShowImageCaptureScreen() == 1)
{
while (agk::IsCapturingImage())
{
agk::Sync();
}
}
}

I get the camera up but it flickers. I saw this googling:
http://code.google.com/p/agk/issues/detail?id=317
I dont even understand what he is talking about...
Can anyone shed light on how to get this working???

thanks

Try putting a sleep command before the Sync()

It means the Core.cpp you are using is out of date. Copy the one from AGK\IDE\apps\interpreter\Core.cpp into your tier 2 project folder.

I will definitely copy the new core.cpp.
I feel like I am bandaging the symptoms and not fixing my root cause...
I am using VS2010. If you look for my name, you will see that I have had nothing but problems getting up and going using tier2. If you search this forum for my name, you will see that I have been struggling.... I could not get examples to build, missing files, errors compiling and linking, etc....

Does anyone have a recommendation so I can stabilize my environment? Obviously, it works for several folks out there. I would like to get to a point where I have confidence in the environment. I cannot even remember what I did to get this one project to even build, so I only have one project
I have re-installed AGK.
I am open to all suggestions...

thanks!

can't TGC simply post a VS2010 template for T2 1076 that works 100% ?

How long will that take to put together? 1, 2 hours? I think that would cut a lot of complaints.

I agree about the template or taking over the wizard....
I copied the core.cpp over and it did not help....
Any other ideas/recommendations?

thanks!

Replace AppForceExit() with PostQuitMessage(0);
Delete AppInitCode()
Replace App.g_pWindowTitle with the string you want to appear at the top of your app's window
Replace App.g_dwDeviceWidth with the width you want the window to be
Replace App.g_dwDeviceHeight with the height you want the window to be
Replace App.g_dwFullScreen with 1 if you want a full screen app or 0 if you want a windowed app.
Delete AppGatherData()
Set App.g_dwResolutionMode to 1
