Heres my first entry for the 20SECONDS compo!
Its written in Blitz3D and using blitz own collision system. Its a bit slow, and will take longer than 20 seconds on any PC thats older than mine ( 6 years :P )
I mite have a go at making my own collision system for it, so I can have more sand particles! and have it last 20s on any system :)
Its not a great simulation, and some of the collisions and accel is wrong, but it achive the effect :)
A zip file of the models and code is available for download, you will need the models to run the code.
the compiled exe is available here Download (http://www.tetrahedron.me.uk/20sTimer.zip)

That works :) I was wondering if we'd get an hourglass in the comp, and we have one!
As usual, a high quality submission from you Daf, thanks for getting the comp off the starting blocks!
-
Nice.
Personal view, it would be nicer if you where a little closer to the action. Maybe reduce the height of the hourglass and zoom in a little so that you can see the particles easier.
-
hehe it seemd like the obvious thing to make :D
mite have a go at a 2d version too.
Thats a great idea Graheam, i've modified the code and updated the download, looks much cooler now thanx :D
I havent been able to make the glass smaller though, the particles just keep getting stuck that way. Blitz collisons is good, but not great unfortunately, and I dont have any kind of real physics in there either :skint:
-
Are you going to use the 3D engine you made before if you do a 2d version? That could be quite challenging!!! Rather you than me.

lol I cant agree more hehe, I was thinking more of the 2D flat kind :) then i could just use pixels as the grain of sand, and being 2D I could have thousands of grains insted of a few hundred :updance:
-
Neat one.
-
Welldone :)
-
nice work :D
-
Nice little demo. Fits the 20 second theme very well :)
-
Finally one of Tetra's great productions!
It's been too long, make more :)
-
Tetra you got you're act together man still in the first week of the month and you got your entry lookin sweet
-
The idea of a sandclock is great and does really fit well into the current compo's topic.
Works smooth and fine here. Very well done !!!
-
:cheers: Guys :)
Hope to see more than just mine here!
-
I hope so too but I just need some more time, and some inspiration
-
Don't worry Daf, my weekend's free to a reason ;)
-
Classic, :) nicely done.
-
yeah, nice one, great idea
-
Remindes me of the intro to "The Days of Our Lives" ( come on, doesn't mean I watch that tv show ;) )
Great idea for 20 seconds of entertainment!

cool phyics and good demo
welldone
