Wire GPU Tutorial: by Drunkie

Hey drunkie, this is just a request but, could you explain how to use calls with the GPU, like for example when I press a button I want to draw a square but ONLY if I press a button.

You can already learn how to use calls and jumps by referring to these other tutorials.

Alpha works in colors. I moved it because this is where tutorials go

[Drunkie]

Ah, okay thanks

I understand how to use calls with zASM and GPU.
My problem is when I spawn the GPU it automatically draws a square or lags a ton.

cmp #63488,1;
je DrawSquare;
jne Exit;

DrawSquare:
    dcolor white;
    drectwh pos,size;
jmp Exit;

Exit: dexit;

color white,255,255,255;
vec2f pos,0,0;
vec2f size,128,128;

In your E2 Code:

@inputs GPU:wirelink

GPU[63488] = 1
GPU[0] = GPU[0]

Thank you, I will test that out and see if I can get it to work, I am working on a GPU casino.

EDIT:
It worked first time this clears up a lot of confusion, thank you.
Now time to go make overcomplicated things.

Damn, Drunkie, thank you so much. I always thought I knew almost everything of the simple things like data types and such but I could learn even there something^^
And the E2-connecting thing is just purely epic!!!

Thank you again for this great tutorial. I hope this will increase the number of GPU-coders out here.

Your welcome I started to realize that this wonderful wiremod entity is not being used alot in the wiremod community, and I figured someone had to at least explain the basics.

Could you explain how to get a color into the GPU via wirelink?
I failed at that today and i have no idea how to do that.

E2:

@name 
@inputs GPU:wirelink Keyboard
@outputs 
@persist String:string Color:array
@trigger Keyboard

if(first())
{
    for(T=1,3)
    {
        GPU[T]=255
    }
}
if(Keyboard!=127&Keyboard!=154)
{
    String+=toChar(Keyboard)
}
else
{
    String=String:left(String:length()-1)
}

if(String:sub(1,6)=="!color"&Keyboard==13)
{
    Color=String:explode(" ")
    GPU[1]=Color[2,string]:toNumber()
    GPU[2]=Color[3,string]:toNumber()
    GPU[3]=Color[4,string]:toNumber()
    String=""
}

GPU:writeString(63488,String)
GPU[0]=GPU[0]

Writing works.

GPU:

dcvxpipe 3;

mov color1.r,#63485;
mov color1.g,#63486;
mov color1.b,#63487;
dcolor color1;
dsetsize 16;
dwrite pos,63488;

dexit;

vec2f pos,-1,-0.05;
color color1,255,255,255;
