Hello all.

[HiQ]

Hello there,

I used to code little intros on Amiga way back when... Nothing remarkable, one intro for a bigger BBS got some traffic. When I later switched to PC I decided to just toy with FT2 instead of coding. I did try coding too, but "wrong" endian, page flipping, and soundcard hassles were too annoying after Amiga Or if you can call HTML/javascript/PHP coding I did some of that. Anywho, fast forward to this day, I thought I'd give real coding another go. I stumbled on freebasic fortified by tinyptc_ext. And it looks like this stuff could be fun again!  So thank you Rbz for the extension and thank you Shockwave for doing some nice examples (promotion work) with it.

Edit: I almost forgot, the welcome message I got was spelled "wecome". I thought I'd mention.

@HiQ:

Welcome on board. Cool to see another oldschool Amiga coder
coming back to the pc demo scene.

It was very hard to get my foot into PC coding, too - after I
stopped on the AMIGA. But yes - there are some languages
around which make coding being fun again!!!

Hey, welcome HoQ, nice to hear a little bit about you, make yourself at home

I'll fix that spelling mistake in the wecome mail too

How do all.  Some of you might know me already from shmup-dev which is the website I run.  Indeed it was Pixel Outlaw (another shmup-dev mod) who suggested I register over here in the first place.  It looks like there a few peeps I know hanging around here already so I shouldn't have much trouble fitting in.

Where to begin?  Well like a lot of people no doubt I was also a proud owner of an Amiga back in day with a couple boxes filled with cracked games so I guess all those wonderful cracktros was my first introduction to the demo scene.  Since then I've grown up a bit and become a proffesional coder myself, and although my speciality is in physics simulation coding I've always maintained an interest in the graphics side of things.  I've spent a fair bit of time teaching myself graphics coding using both OpenGL and DX and one way I did this was to create demo fragments utilising fractals, filters, plasma buffers etc.  I guess a good way to introduce myself then would be to show you one of these demo fragments.  It's not particulalry efficient or small since I was still learning at the time, indeed I had to do a fair bit of digging through my old code archives to find this ;p, but I hope to get back to doing this stuff now I've improved.

Its pretty simple stuff really.  I'd written a tool which converts images to index buffers using configurable colour, opacity, and luminence channels.  I then layered the index buffers on top of each other moving some around and fading others in and out and accumulated the indicies at each pixel location.  This is then used to grab a colour from a wrapping colour table to give the final result.  Enjoy.
