So here's a small entry to the magnification challenge.
What you see is a growing set of cells.
They jostle, divide and do a little bit of pogo-dancing when the beat starts.
You can also move 'em using your mouse.
This time there are no fancy shaders involved, you just need something OpenGLish capable of multi-texturing.
Sadly a lot of ideas had to be left undone as I was a bit low on time
Hope you have some fun with anyways.
Music, again, by
Dune aka Brothomstates and one texture was done by
Acryl.
Uses
MiniFMOD to play XM.
How it works:
The cell structure is obtained by constructing a
Voronoi diagram from a set of points.
For those interested in the technique I've attached an early version I used for debugging.
Here you can see the cell points (black; you can move them with your mouse),
the delaunay triangulation (green),
the triangles' circum-circles (red),
the voronoi-cells (blue) whose edge-points are equal with the circles' centers.
