In it for the Karma

Here's my little experiment, you can call it by "a failed Oracle remake".

Good one! I really like it

Im going to have a bash at this on the weekend I hope, I've been busy painting and decorating..

That is some classy stuff. It blew my mind when it started waving even though I sort of understand the trick.

Shockwave · « **Reply #7 on:** December 15, 2009 »

It would be cool too to try and find a variation of the trick too

Shockwave · « **Reply #8 on:** December 16, 2009 »

Here's my version

Cool stuff!

Though I feel a little dizzy now...hehe

And rbz' is awesome too. I'm still fiddling about with mine. Not sure if that ever evolves into something worth posting...

Waynet · « **Reply #10 on:** December 16, 2009 »

Nice one Nick even if it did make me feel a bit dizzy as well.

And just for the sake of completeness I reproduced the effect in Photon's demo a little bit more faithfully, thought I added another copy of the scroll and used a different font/colours..

Pixel_Outlaw · « **Reply #12 on:** December 16, 2009 »

Looks great! I like how you added a backside to the text by using gray.

Thanks all

@Shock: They are both very nice. I might code another one this weekend

benny! · « **Reply #15 on:** December 17, 2009 »

@Shocky:
Both versions rock. The second looks more old-schoolish (C64 era)
somehow. The first one would fit into Amiga era. Both are fantastic!

unique fx + cool it can be really cheap to do sizewise
UPDATE: THose your attempts they look excellent

Honor to the software rendered one.

Shockwave · « **Reply #17 on:** December 31, 2009 »

Thanks Praecor!

Wow! Just saw this thread yet and its a nice compo... i have never understand how this cool scroller was coded in pure 2d... In the age of 3D i think it would not be so hard, as long as know how to code 3D stuff ^^

LittleWhite · « **Reply #19 on:** January 24, 2010 »

Thanks for the source, I was always intrigued by how to do this effect. :up:
