A bit of a diversion today. Had an idea on the program I developed to help my daughters get good scores on Destructo Match on Neopets. The hard part is entering the position, but by copying the position to the clipboard and getting the program to read the colors of the pixels at a specific point in each square, I should be able to get it to copy the whole board. Never tried working with bitmaps in this way before. So I spent a half an hour getting this working. But what is happening? Only 70% of the squares are properly copied. I checked the positions of the pixels at least 5 times and they are correct. But it seems the color value changes. Interesting! Have to research this more when I have some free time. For now, 70% will have to do.
