Hi!

Why would anyone need to press that "Print Scr" button and then try searching for their picture inside the system folder? Because now you can take pictures of your game by pressing any key on your keyboard, and your picture shows up right inside the same folder as your executable!!!

Just drop this function inside your game loop and you can be cool too:



Press a button and take a picture! It's that easy!

See you next time with another amazing function.

if it's in DBP, you can do it faster.
(if you want to know how, search the DBP forums)

For print screen, you have to quit and paste/save it for every screenshot you want to take.

Anyway, the faster way I meant, was memblocks.

You know that in dbpro you can save an image like this...

Assuming of course that its 640x480 screen resoulution.

Sorry, i didnt look at your code. You already have this implemented.

You could add a function for capturing a screenie with no 2D. Like a screenshot that sync's before grabbing the screen, so only 3D and sprites are shown, and 2D debug text for example would be removed. You could even watermark your screenshots if you liked by pasting an alpha image before grabbing.

Nice little function, there is nothing worse than compiling, running, grabbing, then pasting - for each and every screenshot.
