Out of boredom I spent a few hours yesterday to throw together a small demo in BMax featuring freaky fractals dancing to music.

Have a screenshot:


Download (source + *.exe): Link

Since the program relies on a few shaders, it is possible that the demo runs jerky or not at all, depending on your graphics card. In that case, you might want to check out the Youtube video instead.

Let me know what you think!

That was really cool, though I had to hack it for full-screen to really appreciate it:

Const GWIDTH :Int = 1920 '1280
Const GHEIGHT:Int = 1080 '720

' ...

GLGraphics GWIDTH, GHEIGHT, 32 ' Added ",32"


I wouldn't even know where to start to duplicate something like this. Ran beautifully here.

Oy Noobody, do you happen to work with graphic programming or are you in a totally unrelated field?

Great demo, thanks for sharing!

I'm a mere hobbyist, actually - I do study CompSci, but I'm only a third semester student, so it'll take a while before they teach us the good stuff.

Is this open source ? It's got screen saver written all over it ?

Is this open source ?

Yes! Source is included in the download.

It's got screen saver written all over it ?

Most demos have :)

This is gorgeous. Really nice to watch it work.

Also, thanks for the source! Have been slowly learning about shaders, SO chuffed by this BMax code.
