Toying with COS & SIN commands to produce 2D effects.

Welcome to all.

Below are a few progs that create dazzling eye candy. No doubt there are far easier methods of achieving what Ive included here - if so show me as I learning all the time

The one above creates a simple wobbly vortex.

This next one produces a spiral that slowly unravels itself.

This next one generates a pattern made out of lines - press space to reveal a new one.

Using drawrect, this next sample displays a screen size explosion in multicolour simplicity.

It could also pass as a primitve psychedelic show too.

very nice. You need to set the project/options "explicit declaratinos" on, because your last example had a typo...

[matchy]

Good job. Nothing like a bit of smash coding. 

[Slydog]

Well, that wasted 15 minutes of my day!
Couldn't resist tweaking the values in your code, to see what changed! 
Very fun stuff, and in so little code. 

[Wampus]

Fun. 

I added a poly to the spiral code. Very psychedelic.

Code: (glbasic) [Select]

GLOBAL change,x,y,aa,col,ca,mel,xo,yo

change=20.0 // this excites the dots on screen

WHILE NOT FALSE

FOR aa=1 TO 12996 STEP change

INC ca, 0.1

mel = MOD(aa+ca,12996)

SELECT mel

CASE 1 TO 2166

col = RGB(255,INTEGER(mel/8.494117647058824),0)

CASE 2167 TO 4332

col = RGB(255-(mel-2166)/8.494117647058824, 255,0)

CASE 4333 TO 6498

col = RGB(0, 255, (mel-4332)/8.494117647058824)

CASE 6499 TO 8664

col = RGB(0, 255-(mel-6495)/8.494117647058824, 255)

CASE 8665 TO 10830

col = RGB((mel-8664)/8.494117647058824, 0, 255)

CASE 10831 TO 12996

col = RGB(255, 0, 255-(mel-10830)/8.494117647058824)

DEFAULT

col = RGB(128,128,128)

Thats amazing!  I love it.

Now youve got me tinkering with your code   Its the best way to learn new tricks.

Thanks.

[I love my Brick]

...and heres one I prepared earlier.

Good going! I especially like what you've done with the colour gradients.

[I love my Brick]

Heres a very simple looking bat and ball game with bricks that sway - yes i know its boring . The bricks could easily become aliens and the bat a space ship. My next little bit of code will be a PAC MAN clone using much of the above to produce a wacky but fun experience

Use left and right cursors to move the bat.

Hi these examples are very nice... thanks for sharing...

I think this are the new Polibius 

[Wampus]

I've uploaded a video of your spiral thingy code with added polyvectors and trailbacks. Click here to see it.

gasp cogh

looks wondefull, and that Slaygon tune is just awesome...have been thinking of this tune for a featured zombi apocalypse movie for quite some time.

Great code you guys, I´m afraid to check it and feel naive...
