Old Skool Demo effects as done with Gideros!

techdojo

The title say's it all.

Inspired by @Atilim, here's my first entry to kick off this thread! - Raster Bars (sort of)

@Atilim - couldn't wait till lunch!

Feel free to add this to the Gideros samples for the next release!

Scouser

I dunno, resorting to cheating to get your post count up. What's with the double discussion post ????

techdojo

I did ask for it to be deleted - gotta give @GregBUG a chance somehow!

atilim

>- it's great!

GregBUG

nice !!!
turned my Galaxy S3 in C64 !!!

phongtt

Cool!!! I love demoscene effects

techdojo

Then try this out for size! (v2 - with added image warping!)


EDIT : @Talis - this code will also show you how to create a collection of shapes from an image and should be a good starting place for your magnification code!

GregBUG

=P~ =P~ =P~ =P~
cool! run ULTRA SMOOTH!!!! (SGS3)

i love it!!!

i'm crazy for "old skool" effects!!!!

very very nice ! =D>

techdojo

@GregBUG - so does this mean I can keep the star then ?

EDIT : I actually noticed something cool when I was playing the demo on two different spec machines (actually @Scousers toy's), because all the sine waves are triggered from the value that os.timer returns, it automatically runs each demo at the same speed regardless of the frame rate, and they stay synced regardless of when they were started - that was unintentional but actually a nice little bonus!

Can't wait to try it on my Wife's SGS3 now.

@techdojo very cool I rather enjoyed that style of effects heh brings me back.

GregBUG

@GregBUG - so does this mean I can keep the star

No.

techdojo

Well - you know what you have to do then...

techdojo

So - nobody else got some "old skool" demo stuff they want to share?

atilim

I've a logo only

techdojo

Is that the start of a sine wave scroller demo?

A collection of these demo's would make a great addition to the samples collection included in the main Gideros distribution.

OZApps

@scouser, you actually *PAY* @techdojo for this

@techdojo, that looks amazing.... Now where's the sine scroller???

yPos = (amplitude * math.sin(frequency * time * 2 * math.pi))

Scouser

@OZApps: I only work with him. I don't pay him. I suppose someone must otherwise he wouldn't turn up every day )

techdojo

I exist only to make @Scouser coffee...

techdojo

and spam forums...

deniz

if only I had time... I used to make cool demo effects in asm... back in the old days...
