Funky Spirals James Rutherford (~mrfrosty) The Hex Heroes - 23rd February 1998 (V 1.2) webpage: http://www.netyaroze-europe.com/~mrfrosty email: j.t.rutherford@sms.ed.ac.uk A colourful feedback routine inspired by Jon Rocatis' (~CACTUS) Feedback demo. The code shouldn't be too hard to follow - although I'm pretty sure the routine takes a lot more time to execute than it ought to (do I need double buffering etc...). The default version is easily converted to NTSC. To start: ensure 'djsetup' is resident, 'MAKE' the executable and run with 'SA' (short for siocons auto). > If you haven't got an analogue pad then go find one < > this demo is a far more enjoyable with than without < ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The standard pad and analogue pad are supported. Controls: * Standard Pad Shoulder L1 - top-left box (red) Shoulder R1 - top-right box (blue) Shoulder L2 - bottom-left box (green) Shoulder R2 - bottom-right box (yellow) Square button - rotate feedback box anticlockwise Circle button - rotate feedback box clockwise D-Pad left - decrease feedback box width D-Pad right - increase feedback box width D-Pad up - decrease feedback box height D-Pad down - increase feedback box height Start - feedback box info Select - Quit * Analogue Pad Shoulder L1 - top-left box (red) Shoulder R1 - top-right box (blue) Shoulder L2 - bottom-left box (green) Shoulder R2 - bottom-right box (yellow) Right stick horizontal - feedback box rotation Left stick horizontal - feedback box width Left stick vertical - feedback box height Start - feedback box info Select - Quit ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I hope you enjoy playing (I suggest you put an ambient CD on or something). I may extend the feedback idea with different stuff on screen in the next version (if there is one). 'Til then, keep up the spirit of Yaroze, and I'll see you in another chunk of code sometime. Colourful regards, James Rutherford (~mrfrosty / SCEE) - Feedback is always appreciated (!) -
