Capturing Current Screen State
Hey, I'm working on an RPG right now and I was wondering if anyone knows how to basically save the state of the screen into an image.
I want to do proper fading from black back into the screens previous state but I have been having issues finding any way to do this.
I am using a typical JFrame <- BufferStratagy<-Graphics2D setup. The only way I can think of solving this is to render into an image and then display that image. I think that method would be a little slow though (twice as I would guess).
You can download all of the source from http://individual.utoronto.ca/Phibred/LoG.htm
if you want to and use it anyway you want. It is slightly different from my current version but it should be fine.
If you want to join the Dev team for Legends of Galloway (the project I am running) you can e-mail me at Phibred@hotmail.com
I have a small team of amature game developers. I am specifically interested in people who want to develop some AI. You can look at the source code to see the integration of AI into the engine. I hope you will be impressed with the built in flexability.
Sorry for the shameless advertising, it is kind of late and I think I am starting to ramble so I am just going to stop now.
Thanks for your help,
James Vaughan
