GNU Rocket for PureBasic

[Den]

Hello, long time no see

I've been working on a PureBasic port of GNU Rocket and I thought I'd share it with you, even though the PB forum isn't one of the most popular forums on DBF

In case you don't know what the original Rocket is, it's a tool to help you synchronize your demo effects/scenes with the audio. It comes as a C file you include in your demo, and a tracker-like editor used to input your variables values.

I made a git repo (my first one!) to host PBRocket at https://github.com/Dartcode/pbrocket

I also included a remake of the original sync editor which, while it misses select/copy-paste features, should be compilable on OS X and linux.

The examples (one with native audio and one with BASS lib) should get you going, and I hope you'll find a use for it (it can be used for demos of course, but also for slideshows, subtitles and whatnot)

Do you have picture on showing what it does

Hello!

There isn't much to show about rocket itself as the heart of it is an include file  that manages variables and their values.

Still, I made a video of the demo and the editor running side by side:

And a snapshot of the video in case you can't play videos:


I also made a "demo pack" (for Windows) with the demo and the editor executables so you can have a go even if you don't use PureBasic:

To use the "demo pack":

1) Run pbrocketeditor.exe
2) Load stars.rocket in the editor (Ctrl+O)
3) Run demo.exe
4) You can change the values in the editor and press space to play/pause the demo

Hope it helps

That should be really useful for the PB guys, Den. Great work! K++

Thanks Raizor

Also, I'd like to find somebody who can compile the editor on mac and/or linux (I only use Windows)

It should allow C/C++ coders to use the original GNU Rocket on those platforms too (the C include file should be x-platform but the original editor is Windows only)

This looks excellent! Thanks!

Thank you emook!
