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

Well done, mate!

Post by: combatking0 on April 22, 2015: 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.

Post by: Kirl on April 24, 2015: Excellent entry, very atmospheric!! :clap:
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! 8)

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

Post by: combatking0 on April 24, 2015: 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>

Post by: Kirl on April 25, 2015: 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..
