Hello all my name is oasis and no i have not posted in the introduce yourself thread just yet ill do that right after this post
but to make things nice and simple
I am part of a on-line gaming site called retrouprising.com and im just getting into the whole web development and java particularly now im OK with VB and C++ but i have never used java but im picking it up as i go and i can understand what i am reading
but enough of the back ground what i need help with
i am trying to modify the game boy emulator java boy
source code found here
JavaBoy - The Portable Gameboy Emulator for Java
but not trying to do anything major what we need for our site is to be able to take a screen shot of the buffered image that is on the screen (not the entire computer screen just what is shown in the applet window) the reason why we want to do this is so we can make the game boy games high score enabled
so what would happen is the user click the game screen to pull up the menu then it would have a option that says click to submit score at that time the image would be sent to the website server for approval then a mod would add the score to the high score board...
now i believe i have modified the code so it shows the click score in the menu option but the issue that i have is the part of the code that actually takes the image
im sure its something simple IE if user clicks option then capture buffered image
but i dont know the syntax to make that work no the web design experience to upload it to the server. so thats why i am asking for help
eventually i will be able to figure it out but i thought it might speed things up if i asked for some help.
thanks in advance
Oasis
you know it might be helpfull if include what i modified but i really did not do anything just added a thing to the control menu that says push A for screen shot
and another thing to the menu that says click to submit score but if you need what i have changed please let me know
