| Here are two little time-wasters I've made. What do you all think? Source + Exe: http://soldiers.250free.com/BlitZMax/Beaker.zip Wait until the screen clears and right-click in the bottom-center of the screen to see some fantastic atomic blast-like shockwaves. [edit] Here is a more advanced variation of the above program with background distortion: http://soldiers.250free.com/BlitZMax/Distort.zip And, not as neat, but still fun. Source + Exe. http://soldiers.250free.com/BlitZMax/blur02.zip No screens, you've got to see them in motion. |

| wow! nice fx :) |
| ||
| Looks like you're using Hugo Elias' routines. I love that site :D (Very nice effects, anyway) |
| ||
| Nice water look with your Distort prog! |
| ||
| Great FX ^^ I'll take a look at your code to how you did it. thanks :) |
| ||
| Who's this Hugo Elias fellow? And why haven't I heard of him before? His stuff is amazing! Thanks, warpy. On that note, for the wave program, this line of code: buffer2[x,y]=(buffer1[x-1,y] + buffer1[x+1,y] + buffer1[x,y-1] + buffer1[x,y+1])/2 - buffer2[x,y] was not conceived in my head. That's a well-known algorithm and it's the key to making the waves. Everything else is completey mine though. : ) |
| ||
| I have never seen anyone simulating water waves this realistic, nice! By the way, how demanding is this? |
| ||
| They're cool but they do run kinda slow. |
| ||
| Yeah they run pretty slow at 30 - 35 fps on my rig, and mine's a monster rig. Yeah I'm braggin ;) And Wave, if you're wondering if it would be practical in a game environment, I haven't yet found a way to use it well. But I have tried in the past. This is a very old demo I made in highschool. It's a motorboat battle, naturally. http://soldiers.250free.com/BlitZMax/Water18.exe Run at your own risk. Sorry, I don't have the qBasic source anymore (Like you'd want it) |
| ||
| I made a game using a 1-d version of this algo a few days ago - water drops. Obviously, the 2d version takes N^2 time to run, so it gets slow very quickly, but 1d is just fine. |
| ||
| That's a neat little game. Very futile though. Can it be 'passed'? |
| ||
| nope :) |
