[CUBES] HTTSC

[Knurz]

Hi!

I considered long if this is worth an entry here. But I'm in a learning process and want to hear your opinions to this .
So this is my first real OpenGL Stuff done. I played a little around with blending and OpenGL so it's more a "What I have learned while writing this" .

Please tell me what you like and what you didn't like, I want to learn from my design/program mistakes I've done with this one .

  Great one!!! 

Really nice and colorfull!!! Love it! 

For an first opengl, pfewww!!!

EDIT: got a problem with the window at startup! It is displayed first at 0,0 position and then centered. But there is still it drawing at screen on the background (at previous 0,0 position).

[Kirl]

That was really awesome, I enjoyed it a lot!

Very cool prod! 

[Raizor]

Really cool entry Knurz! I love the cubes splitting up reforming and the subtle sine wobble. Great stuff

K++

EDIT: btw, was does HTTSC stand for?

[padman]

Very cool stuff! Especially for a firsty. Well done! 

[Knurz]

@jace: Thanks, I figured out that MoveWindow after GL has initialized is not smart ... Will change my init.-code

As uncreative as ever HTTSC stands for "Homage to the spinning cube" .

Thanks for the positive replies.

I'm unable to run and test this on windows7 64-Bit. Apparently, I don't have the correct permissions.

Woah ... if this was your first try in OpenGL ... I wonder how your next intro will look like.

Great entry - love the cracktro colored cubes on the ground. Tune fits perfectly and everything runs really smooth.

[Knurz]

Mhh I programmed this on W7/64, should not need any additional permissions  .

Except for that "VROOM" Remake, this is my first Intro .

Are those colors (from the rainbow cubes) real-time generated? If not take this with you:

Code Select Expand


struct RGBA
{
float r;
float g;
float b;
gloat a;
}

float _arcoiris(float ti)
{
float tiDelta = floor(ti/360);
ti = ti - float(tiDelta*360);

if (ti<=240)
{
if (ti<120) // 0 - 119
{
return ti/119;
}
else // 120 - 239
{
return 1 - (ti-120)/119;
}
} else { // 240 - 360
return 0.0;
};
};
RGBA ArcoIris(float ti)
{

RGBA rgba;
rgba.r = _arcoiris(ti + 0  );
rgba.g = _arcoiris(ti + 120);
rgba.b = _arcoiris(ti + 240);
rgba.a = 1.0f;

return rgba;
}



Example:

t++;
RGBA color = ArcoIris(t)
glColor3f(color.r,color.g,color.b);

I Am giving you this piece of code for one reason: I Need motivation to work in my demo, and giving resources to everybody only makes my work harder, so i can get out of the bed and work more :3

Very nice entry!

I love the wobble on the main cube.

[Jim]

Nice! No W7/64 problems for me.

@BlackSheep: Nope, the colors are precalc (it'S the same routine as used in vroom  ) => lazy Jones mode .

Thanks for your positive replies.

Now that my logical Volume on my server works again (Thought I have lost all my work from prev. 5 years -.-), I'll post the source after the comp. has finished .

[Clyde]

I had to temporarily disable avg, it said about the exe having the oneheur virus.

It's a really neat intro!!

[Optimus]

Great for first OpenGL try.
I like when the cube waves.

[combatking0]

Cool backgrounds, and I like how the colours pulse through the cubes at the bottom.

The synchronised 4*4*4 cube is also good.

[Shockwave]

I wish my first try with Opengl had been as good as this.

I like it Knurz the cube exploding into lots of cubes looks good.

Good luck in the voting.

[Hotshot]

Good OpenGL Cube there 

[Kirl]

Excellent happy chippy tune too, I just have to open it from time to time.

[Knurz]

Source Code for httsc.

(It's a mess and there are many functions in it which I never use...  )
