Pompom - Amoeba things[BB2D]

[mike_g]

A function I am working on that draws fuzzy things. It became a bit more complex than I initially expected so I might rewrite it useing types intead of arrays. I also plan on adding rotation and improving the speed. Anyway here it is:

Very cool  

[Clyde]

That is awesome dude, welldone indeed

[zawran]

Thats pretty cool. It could be used for some kind of asteroid like enemies. Invasion of the fuzzies.

Any chance of an exe? We dont all have basic here.

[zawran]

I have compiled it and put it online. You can download it from here:  amoebe

[mike_g]

Hey zawran thanks for putting an exe up for me. I would have done so myself but havent been paying much attention to the Blitz forums the last couple of days. Anyway have some karma and yeah Im working on a little vector graphics game at the moment so i might put them in as evil wobbly blobs.

[benny!]

Very nice. I liked the one at the left bottom best ! Thanks for supplying an exe as
I do not have Blitz either !!!

[rdc]

Cool indeed mike_g. Thanks for the exe zawran.

[mike_g]

Hey I'm glad you guys like it. I had a go at filling them using a (slightly crude) floodfill I made but it runs too slow if I use it each loop. The best way I can think of would be to start off with a fill and then switch only the pixels that need changing but I dont think i'm clever enough to work that one out

Maybe I'll do a line version, as opposed to circular. That would be a bit simpler to find out what pixels need changing.

Also in future I'll make exes for stuff. I dident originally do one for this cos I wasent finished with it, but then I got distracted and started doing something else.

[rdc]

This article has some different flood-fill algos that may help. The quick-fill looks pretty good, although I haven't tried it myself.

[mike_g]

Cool I bookmarked it for now since i'm a little drunk, but i'll be sure to go over it tomorrow or something.

[Clyde]

Very cool stuff indeed.

Zawran: karma++ for supplying the exe!

Nice effect mike_g...I especially like the one down the bottom right. I wonder what it would look like if you changed colour depending on distance from centre of circle (eg things in the midle of the circle darker and things outside brighter???)

Nice idea, I might do that but first i think I better rewrite the things using types, since the longer  leave it the more difficult it will become. At the moment I got a lot of other stuff to do for assignments I been leaving to the last minute that need to be in this week. Oh well maybe on the weekend.

[Clyde]

Dude if you've got assignments to do, get those done first matey their more important.

Looking forward to seeing what you conjur up next

Cheers,
Clyde
