So I decided to modify the open-source pixel grab program available on Cake-kun.com. I actually use this program because it's simple and convenient.
All I did was pretty much make it more efficient. This was made on Linux and has not been tested, so I'd like CT to personally test it and give feedback. It would be greatly appreciated.

Anyway, here it is.

Code:

Use the F8 hotkey for help display.
Also, if anyone would like a compiled version, please specify so on this thread.

I am new to this so where does the words in the box go?

Hawk its Autoit; it's a program.

I don't know how to program. I want to learn how to script on Gaia.

That's not necessarily what he was asking.
/facepalm

@Hawk, if you're wanting to learn what programming is, now is the time to start using proper terminology. Those words, as you said, aren't just words. They're code. Code is generally used by a programming language. That programming language interprets this code then translates it to machine language.

Also, this thread isn't the appropriate place for me to explain how exactly "those words" work. But I can maybe make a tutorial or two when I have spare time. But if you want, I can compile this code into a standalone executable so you can use it without any programming intervention.

And a side note - This has nothing to do with Gaia whatsoever.

Oh okay thanks anyway.

No problem. But I plan to compile this later because I plan to mod this a couple more times before I'm completely satisfied with it. I'm usually repetitive about things I'm interested in so.

@topic, there will be updates to this. So for those of you who are interested, stay tuned.

What does it do?
