Taylor Dale

Description

Translate user's hand-drawn glyphs into useable characters! Currently only supports 0-9 digits and single digit only. Drawing system is fully customizable, chalkboard demo to get you started.

Useage: Call

reference = recognition_create(x,y,size[,timeToDraw]);

Making sure you store the result to get the input at a later time. To check if the user has drawn a glyph:

    show_debug_message(number);

a VERY cool system!

The review below seems very emotionally charged... This is such a great little tool to almost drag and drop handwriting support straight in to our game. There is such advanced function from such a tiny little bit of code. I contacted the developer a few months ago and he was very helpful in giving me tips on integrating the system in to our existing game. Nothing but positivity from me. Thanks so much!

Error happened - The publisher didn't respond

Hi Taylor (sent you email on 13-10-2018 and 27-10-2018), please fix the error, cause I'm so in love with the plugin.

1. When I tapped on the edge of the drawing board (very close to an edge), the app crashed with the
message like this

Can't create a surface with either a width or height of 0
at gml_Script_surface_bw_crop (line 39) - news = surface_create(neww, newh);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
stack frame is
gml_Script_surface_bw_crop (line 39)
called from - gml_Object__recogArea_StepNormalEvent_3 (line 40) - var cropped = surface_bw_crop(resized), com;

2. When the game shows a Google Play Achievement, or (rarely) an ad is shown, there's an error.
ERROR in
