Vector Demo WIP

[DrewPee]

A first for me . . .  a vector based demo that I am working on . . . I am pleased with the results so far so I thought I would share, okay?

Looks very oldschoolish. Reminds me on thrust. I like the fact, that
the points are a bit more highlighted than the lines. That does look
good.

Nevertheless, I would definately add z-rotation. I think this would be
mandatory for a vector demo IMHO.

Other than that - everything runs smoothly.

Nice start drewpee dude; might be a tad on the darkside, if thats the style your going for then cool, i'll get my coat. Also when you next update, I'd put in the escape key for exiting as well as the mouse button.

[DrewPee]

Thanks for the input guys!

Sorry i forgot i changed the exit key to the space bar for testing purposes!  

[Shockwave]

That's a really nice look you have going on there mate

Nice to see something new by you always and I totally love those asteroids!
There are so many cool things you cann add to this, as benny said, the style of highlighting the points is effective, I guess that I'd love it even more if there was a bit of glow on the image, to remind me of the display on the vectrex.

Even without the glow it looks very effective.

[rdc]

Very cool.

[benny!]

Yeah. A glow on the lines would definately rock. Maybe you
can implement that.

[Shockwave]

Btw.. Unless you are going to post source for this it needs to be put into debug testing and feedback mate.

[DrewPee]

Thanks again gus!

@Shockwave - I will be posting source code but it is very messy! I will post it once I have tidied it up!

Nice one!
Anti-aliased lines would make it more slick.

[Jim]

I like it!

Moving to debug testing and feedback, no source posted yet, I'll move it back if you post the source.

Great start!

Add alpha channel anti aliasing like everyone else said.

There is still quite a bit you can play with too. Maybe you can allow asteroid to asteroid collision checking?

[Shockwave]

I think that collision detection would elevate this into something much better, and after reading the comments above, my wish list would be;

Anti aliased lines.
Rock rotations.
Collisions.
Glow.

Then it would rock (no pun intended).
At the moment it is a nice concept but needs those finishing touches.

[ferris]

Rotations on ALL would be nice, and some camera movement aswell...not to mention i think WU pixels MUST be done....but definitely a good start

[DrewPee]

Thanks guys! I will TRY to implement those . . . - might be a little beyond me but I will try.
