Since a lot of people had problems with my drawing engine in my last game (http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=5823), I need some help creating a new one. An example would be graffiti for a Palm Pilot or something. Basically the engine I was trying to create was one where you draw a command, and the character would do it. However, the method I used didn't reconize the simplistic shapes that were drawn very well, and therefore made the character uncontrollable.
Any ideas how I would go about doing this?

Maybe a node-based input would work? As the mouse button is held down, an array/listbox/alterable string keeps track of the order the nodes are passed over, and compares that to a hardcoded value.

Example file: http://bellsouthpwp.net/r/e/realnoyb/DrawingControl.cca (Requires MMF and List object)
I just made an example file based on my node idea, simply to see if I could make it. It works, but I'm not sure if it is actually an improvement on yours.

Yeah, that is definitly an improvement on mine. I was using a similar engine, exept I didn't have it compared to data, just where the line started and which detectors it passed through. When I remake the game, you'll definitly get credit space.

I tried making one using the drawline object. It was pretty cool because it wasn't picky at all. The only problem was that you had to draw 1 straight line at a time. It figured out which direction the line was going. I ditched it because of some major bugs.

I've decided to make my own engine.
