Background command

kendog400

Is there a background () command in Fuze ? Just to load a simple background color ? I've looked in the help section, but cant find it....

There might be but when I wanted one I couldn't find it, so I cheated and used the box command right after the 'clear()' command, to be exact
box(0,0,1920,1080,black,false)

Worked okay for me but there's probably a better solution

@kendog400 try clear(colour) e.g. clear(red)

@kendog400 Just know you can also do clear with a vector to fine tune an exact rgb color combination!

Example:

bg = {1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0} // white
clear(bg) // clears as "white"

bg = {0.0,0.5,1.0} // sky blue
clear(bg) //clears as "sky blue"

Break down of this is {red,green,blue,alpha) between 0.0 and 1.0
The alpha(transparency) is optional however useful if you're fading into an image @FuzeTeam correct me if im wrong here about that fourth parameter
You can also incorporate for loops to make a fun fade effect, example below

setmode(1280,720) // Set the switch to handheld mode.. coz i like that!

bg = { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 } // Create a variable vector named bg, color black (all rgb values are at 0)

// Create a loop that slowly increases each of the color ranges from black to white
for i = 0.0 to 1.0 step 0.001 loop
bg = ({i,i,i})
clear(bg)
update()
repeat

@Tratax FWIW, your example will go from transparent black to full white, meaning that the white will arrive later than during a linear fade in.

@Nisse5 Thanks, good point! I'll update that now

I found the way to load a background color : clear(green), but I want Dark green,
is the code clear(darkGreen) ?

Yes. Here's a list of known preset colors.

If you're interested, I've made a utility where you can visually see how all the color constants look on screen:
