I guess the effect would be more convincing if the radius becomes smaller at places with stronger twist.

COOL!!! 

very smooth! It would be nice to have some random spin-ups or changing "rotating" direction...

are you planning to release something in the near future? How about jelly cubes falling from top and bouncing on top of each other??

Yes, that would work nice.

The next thing I do is going to be a textmode demo to be released at SUndown in September I think.. I was just killing time with this, please feel free to take it and use it

[DrewPee]

I like that Shockwave, I will now disect it - thanks for the code!

DrewPee

[Shockwave]

Happy disecting. 

[benny!]

N1!

[ferris]

Twisters are probably my all-time favorite oldschool effects

I hope to achieve something like this on the C-64, but that's been put on hold to finish 3 YUP prods coming out this month...

Anyways very nice and welldone!! You pulled it off fantastically

[Shockwave]

It wasnt bad for 40 mins work

[spitfire]

Hmm why am I now in the mood for softserve ice-cream

[Shockwave]

Yum!

[Clyde]

how would you texture those beauties? even if its using xor as an example
As im like Ferris, love twistyness

Awesome dude,
Clyde.
