Avigo Agora

Sample Code

Now allow me one moment to cover my butt: The code provided comes with no guarantees implied or otherwise. Use at your own risk, and always backup the data on your Avigo before installing ANYTHING new. Don't get any mistaken impressions: this stuff is pretty raw, but the idea is to get it out there so people can use it as a starting point for understanding how to code in the Freeware SDK.

Real Programs

BubbleBurst	Sam Rauch Most of the source for the best looking Avigo game out there. Bubble Burst is a clone of the popular arcade game, Puzzle Bobble or Bust-A-Move. If you're not familiar with the game, take a look at some screen shots.
	Jouni Miettunen If you've seen the game "robots" or "daleks" or "Dr. Who" or "Androids" then you know this game. A classic. (Version 0.2)
	Thomas Chapman With IRDraw on two or more Avigos you can scribble notes to each other. Now works with SDK v91b2 (Version 0.3.)
BatteryMeter	Thomas Chapman Monitor the state of your main and backup batteries. Doesn't actually come with source, but Thomas will send it to you if you mail him a postcard. It sounds worth the effort, too. (Version 1.0)

	Dave Page & Bill Baxter This sample shows how to read the keyboard state directly. No more waiting around for half a second while GetKey() tries to decide if it is going to tell you a key was pressed or not! A must for action game developers. (Version 0.9)
	Bill Baxter This sample shows how to save application preferences. You can store up to 256 bytes of info that you can read back next time you start your app. Now has DeletePref and GetPrefLength functions too! (Version 1.1)
	Bill Baxter This sample lets you browse through the Avigo's system icons. To get icons working in your own apps, just throw the two included files (avicons.c and avicons.h) into your project and start drawing with the REAL system icons today! Some surprising things are drawn with system icons, like the entire tap-tap-tap pen calibration sequence (three separate icons each the size of the entire screen!). Now, thanks to Thomas Chapman, avicons.h has symbolic constans like I_STAMP_CAR that you can use in place of cryptic constants like 168.
	Bill Baxter The first thing I wrote with the Freeware SDK. It's some text that bounces around the screen. I wrote it to convince my wife that she made the right choice buying me an Avigo. Show it to your wife or significant other and you're sure to get a free hug. (And go ahead -- I won't mind if you tell her you wrote it just for her.)
	Bill Baxter Input test demonstrates how to get input from the pen and from the application buttons.
	Bill Baxter Mask test shows how to use the SetDrawArea API to restrict drawing to a particular region of the screen.
	Bill Baxter Restore test shows how to use the BackupWindow and RestoreWindow APIs to save a region of the screen and bring it back later -- important if you're going to do things like popping up windows.
	Bill Baxter This sample pops up a little dialog with some text in it and an OK button. It is designed to be incorporated into other apps. It now also saves and restores the background. (Version 1.1)

framedraw.c	David Ford Some drawing code that mimics the look of the standard title bar that appears at the top of most Avigo apps. Now has a menu and uses system icon drawing to get the look just right. (Note: this source relies on the avicons.c and avicons.h files from the icontest sample.)
isamp.c	Sam Rauch Another sample of grabbing input from the pen and buttons.

• Menus
• A simple popup QUERTY keyboard (Thanks to Hans Pufal, we now know how to draw the built-in keyboard using system icons, but we still need some code to get input from it.)
• Data table / Memo reading
