LED Challenge!

hellfire · November 24, 2008

Maybe this is inspiring for someone...

Just out of curiosity:
Since the term "matrix" describes a rather static arrangement, is one allowed to move the leds around?

I hope so because that's what I'm going to be doing

The criterea are fairly relaxed this time, last challenge was very strict this one is just a nice run down for Christmas..

Hehe, the criteria are certainly fluid in this one. Perhaps they should simply say

'do something with LEDs, you know, the light emitting diode type things. You can have them static, moving, in a 2D grid, in a 3D lattice, in a sphere, in a coil, in a rope, whatever you darn well like, but they can only be a single colour even though RGB versions exist in real life'

It's on purpose

The last one was so strict, this time it's totally open to your creativity, but the theme is very strong

I'd like as many people to feel like they can have a go as possible.

im going to dust off my keboard and do something for this. im thinking of using tainted love by marilyn manson as the tune and doing a muti parter so it might be a bit twisted lol.

i would like to have a bash at an american baseball led display like you see in the movies with lots of stop motion flashy things.

Shockwave · November 28, 2008

It's about time you had a go at another one Nino

Baseball meats manson would be a orginal!
The beautiful people? Plenty of opportunities for som crazy synch.

Hello everybody,

I am new here and I just register for participate ( if I can at this Challenge )
Just some questions :

The leds are purely just the idea ... is not something to do with real LED ?
So for represents the Leds, we have to use something like OpenGL , SDL , or assembly... ?
If it is in 3D , can we move the camera ( or view point ) ( or move the global structure ) ?
For the library what do you call frameworks ? ( I am not sure )
One case into the matrix corresponds to one led , so normally to one colour ( ok now, kind of multi colours led exists ) ? Or it is a case for three leds ?

Thank you for your answers

Best regards,

Shockwave · November 28, 2008

Hi Littlewhite,

Please feel free to use whatever method you like to create your program, be it sdl, opengl, asm, as long as it runs in windows then that's fine

As for having single led's being able to display different colours, each led should only display one colour.

Hope that helps and welcome along

LittleWhite · November 29, 2008

Thank you all \o for your wellcome , and your answer.

The avatar is my unique GFX , I am bad in GFX ... hope better in coding

Shockwave · November 29, 2008

Avatar looks kind of like a thumb print with feet and face drawn on

relsoft · December 13, 2008

Count me in!! That is if I could make it back in time before the deadline.

Shockwave · December 13, 2008

Fingers crossed bro.

benny! · December 20, 2008

Damned it. I failed to enter this great competition. Played around with
ActionScript. My first attempt looks rubbish - so I skipped it. Then I
searched for new ideas and googled the internet. I found an amazing
FLASH effect incl. source (only 25 lines):

Now, everything I could think of was somehow a copy of that fx/code
so I decided to give up. I am sorry guys. To all who entered :

Good luck - it is a pleasure to watch your effects.

LittleWhite · December 20, 2008

I tried to do something, but I had not really the time :|
Enjoy
Normally , work correctly on windows

See the attachment

Hezad · December 20, 2008

Wow lol there are a lot of new entries in 2 days

And all are really cool !! That's a real pleasure to see all those productions

combatking0 · December 20, 2008

Ah. I was going to get started tonight, and then I looked at the closing date again.

I think I'll go and review the entries so far...
