Chapter 7. Pixels and the graphscreen
This chapter covers
Say that with your newfound knowledge of getKey and event loops, you want to challenge yourself, and you decide to be ambitious. You want to move a mouselike cursor around your calculator’s screen. You let your imagination run free, and you envision something like the left side of figure 7.1. Perhaps you keep brainstorming and want to be able to doodle on the calculator’s LCD, so that you can draw things like the right side of figure 7.1. But you don’t yet know how to manipulate individual pixels. What you do know is how to draw characters on the homescreen, but that won’t help you write these programs.
