Title: Xuraul - Gravity
Post by: Clyde on October 09, 2007: Hiya Fans,

Here's another Gravity offering called "Xuraul" made with Freebasic and the tinyptc extension.
Special thanks and Credits to Shockwave for the fire code.

Cheers and many thanks,
Gravity

*Updated Credits and text speeds, and added NFO.*

Post by: Shockwave on October 09, 2007: That is really very nice indeed :)

The Vortex effects ran really nicely here, the only one I can remember running almost as well as that in Freebasic was one by Rbraz. I would be really interested in seeing the source to this demo :) Hopefully you'll post it to help others, but even if you don't want to post it I'd still be really interested at taking a squint at it :)

Come to think of it, the fire routine runs really nice too, Wouldn't mind seeing that either!

I promise not to use it myself, I am just wondering how you got those things so fast.

Post by: Shockwave on October 09, 2007: Yep, the music is great too :)

I still wouldn't mind a look at those routines though :) How about it Clyde?
Title: Re: Xuraul - Gravity
Post by: Clyde on October 09, 2007: Thanks ever so much dudes, It really means alot.

I'll jazz up those routines as standalones. I will say that I had some help from you over the years, the fire routine is an adaption of one of yours Shockie dude, your name is in the credits now dude.

Cheers,
Clyde

Post by: slinks on October 15, 2007: Pretty cool, however AVG seems to recognise it as a virus.
Title: Re: Xuraul - Gravity
Post by: Shockwave on October 15, 2007: It's not a virus.. AVG is fucked.
Title: Re: Xuraul - Gravity
Post by: Jojo on October 15, 2007: Also discussed at Pouet (http://www.pouet.net/topic.php?which=4666)... It's us who have to do something... Sending demos to the antivirus manufacturers...
Title: Re: Xuraul - Gravity
Post by: Shockwave on October 16, 2007: It's been discussed here too without the idiocy of Pouet.

Post by: Blitz Amateur on November 17, 2007: Congrats Clyde and JoJo! That was amazing! I LOVED the tune, and the vortex and fireballs were just amazing. And it amazes me how fast it all runs. In my feeble attempts at a roto-zoomer that runs that fast, I failed rather miserably. Nice work!

Post by: Optimus on April 01, 2008: Hey, I really like this one! Especially the field plasmas!
Title: Re: Xuraul - Gravity
Post by: Jojo on April 02, 2008: Hey, thanks for the late reply Optimus (although you already posted at pouet) :D ;)
Title: Re: Xuraul - Gravity
Post by: ferris on June 29, 2008: cool one! I still wish I had coded a gravity field effect before I lost my blitz installer...

...but I really liked this one. It also seems optimized since i saw the preview.

Post by: Pixel_Outlaw on July 08, 2008: This is top notch stuff!

The rotation and zooming and plasma blew my socks off.

I really like your choice in colors not too saturated but not too dull either. You have some artistic talent there.
