[Weather_2015] Wire Frame Rain

[combatking0]

Hi everyone!

Here's my entry for the competition, Wire Frame Rain: http://www.barcodebattler.co.uk/fx/wf/wfrain.htm


I can't wait to see what you all have up your sleeves!

[benny!]

Wow ... I am a sucker for wireframes. Love your entry.

Looks like the raindrops are synched to the music? Really cool.

Well done, mate!

[combatking0]

That's right, the tricky bit was timing it so that the drops hit the water when the harp strings are plucked - but I think it works quite well now.

[Hotshot]

That is really cool to see when rain hit the wireframe.....

That Excellent and show you have done very well on HTML 5!

[spitfire]

Great stuff, you work so fast! The timing was perfect.

[Kirl]

Excellent entry, very atmospheric!! 
Code looks nice and neat as well, good work there.

Maybe throw in a splash of colour where the drops hit?
Anyway awesome stuff!

--
I just find out that if you keep it running it in another tab in the background and switch back after a while, you get a torrent of drops all at once, which makes some nice and stormy waves! 

Also I'm about halfway through Stormbringer, good plug!

Thanks, guys

I wasn't sure if this would run slowly or not, but even my old XP laptop runs this at full speed - HTML5 has become quite fast!

I'll look into the colour suggestion, but I thought I'd go for a monochrome wireframe at first, as a homage to the classic PS1 wireframe game, "Vib Ribbon". There should be enough runtime in there to allow for the calculation of dynamic colours.

<plug>Also, I hope you're enjoying the book, Kirl.
I've released it as a paperback, so it should be up on Amazon very soon.</plug>

Using the height values of the points should create a smoothly colored rainbow grid, as a dutchman I can't resist that urge; I feel creatively limited by 16 million colours, what? 

I really enjoy reading your book between all the goings on, it was put on hold during the confusing easter times..

[combatking0]

Easter can be busy - maybe next Lent we could run an egg themed competition

[tronkko]

Good job!  runs nicely even on older pc.

[padman]

Cool stuff ck0! Good luck in the contest. 

[Rbz]

Nice work by manually syncing it, works pretty well.

[Moroboshisan]

instalove with me, wireframe prods always hit me straight through the heart!
simple but effective! great HTML5 entry! runs real smooth on my old notebook!

[Optimus]

That's so nice, great sync with music.

[nikin]

Love the effect. It runs about 14 FPS on my i3 clocked down to 0.9 Ghz, with the profiler running.

[combatking0]

Cheers guys!

[Dr.Death]

Great job mate a very good idea on this. The music sound's like it should be in Game Of Thrones.....

[Shockwave]

That was really nice, I love the movement of the ripples & the harp music

[va!n]

Very nice idea and execution with nice music! I like it!
